[Bf-committers] Google Summer of Code 2014

[Grigory Revzin]

Thanks for the welcome, Ton and everyone! That's really great to be working
on the feature I would love to see as a user and even getting paid :)
Looking forward to a very nice summer.
The best thing about working on Blender is that one doesn't need to
'pretend' that his work is 'real' as one usually has with educational or
hobby projects and that is very, very important for me.

So best of luck to everyone involved and let's deviler! :)
