Dear Smalltalkers, Yesterday passed a deadline for students to propose how will they do the projects and we received 30 proposals from 23 students, which is in my opinion quite a nice number and I'm sure we can end up with quite a number of nice projects this year. And what is even more important: new Smalltalkers in community! Next two weeks mentors will review and rank/vote for the proposals, Google will give us a number of stipendiums it will provide and in few days after Friday 20.April we will have a final list of accepted students and their projects. Few stats (numbers of all participating): 32 projects 34 mentors 32 students 30 proposals 23 students wrote proposal Students by Smalltalk skill: 11 None 9 Low 5 Medium 7 High Students from countries: 5 Argentina 5 India 4 Russia 3 USA 2 Chile 2 Czech Republic 2 Malaysia 1 China 1 Croatia 1 Ecuador 1 Egypt 1 France 1 Germany 1 Sweden 1 Ukraine 1 Slovenia Stay tuned!
