[Bf-committers] GSoC students: welcome!

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

We have six students accepted for a GSoC code grant.
The overview you can find here:

Congrats to the students! We will contact you soon with more info. 

Also a special thanks to all the other students who submitted proposals. In the end it's always a difficult decision. We just picked what we all agreed on was "a convincing proposal that makes us really enthusiastic" and "with sufficient mentors available".

The proposals that were OK-ish but had pluses and minuses didn't make it for that reason. We unfortunately have a lack of mentors here, which makes it even more evident to not accept proposals from students that would need a lot of guidance and mentoring. 

Of course everyone is very welcome to join the blender.org as a volunteer. Check "get involved" on blender.org. 

Laters,

-Ton-
