Final (I think) projects announced
Pending acceptance by the students concerned (some students applied to more than one organisation), the Summer of Code list has been finalised.
Congratulations to the successful applicants who were:
- Jean-Baptiste Griffo: Instancing, Crowd Rendering [confirmed] mentor: tuan kuranes
- Hamilton Chong: Extending, Demo-ing, and Documenting the Shadow Mapping System [confirmed] mentor: sinbad
- Wael el Oraiby: Scene Management [confirmed] mentor: tuan kuranes
- Lois Desplat: Tool for one-step solution for artists [confirmed] mentor: sinbad
- Vladimir Sukhoy: RmOgreExporter (v2), FxOgreExporter [confirmed] mentor: reimpell
- Mats Leksell: Billboard Clouds [confirmed] mentor: Lioric
If any one of these students doesn't confirm their willingness to start their project with us, we will obviously consider alternatives from our list, but I'd treat this as an outside chance.
Comiserations to those whose applications were not accepted - we had a lot of very good applications and it was tough to choose between them. We had 57 applications in total and only 6 that we could accept, so we had a lot of whittling down to do. We'd be glad if students who were not sponsored by Google this year carried on with their projects anyway, if they have the time, since there were plenty of other projects in the list we'd love to see happen - we just didn't have the luxury of picking them all.
Here's to an interesting summer

If so, I'll be very interested to see how that turns out. The project sounds tremendously ambitious, but will meet a lot of needs I've seen expressed on these forums and elsewhere.

Yes, as I said there were plenty of projects would we would love to see done anyway, we could easily have accepted more if we had been allowed. As it stood, and as you can probably tell from the above list, out of the top 12-15 or so applications we ended up with we placed core enhancements (particularly the more complex ones) and tools support top of our list in the end, since both have the the greatest benefit for the community.
I've edited the above list to show which projects have been confirmed as going ahead - just waiting for 2 students to respond now.

All projects are truly great!
But the last one - Billboard Clouds!
Finally! After harping on about this, I am happy that someone is willing to put this into OGRE practice!

This is generally exciting and useful, but I think the Mesh Tree project will benefit from it especially! (Yes, Sputnick: I didn't forget!)

Tocs1001, that's not what billboard clouds are for. Billboard clouds dissect complex geometry into a bunch off billboards, which serve as impostors of parts of this geometry. Advantage over simple one-billboard-impostors is, that they stay closer to the original geom, when the view angle varies.
So, your example is not outdated. (Btw, I learned about it just yet.)

Oops.
I've just been informed in the admins mailing list that I was supposed to wait for Google to make the final announcement. They apparantly run a duplicate checker first to ensure that no student has more than one application approved and do a final Google approval check. That wasn't made clear at all so I thought we were done. To be honest much of the procedure was extremely vague, I hope they clear this up next time.
So, hold on a few more hours, this might not be the final final position I still highly doubt any student listed will lose their place (our numbers have been approved) unless they choose to, but I'll let Google do the final rubber stamping.

Ok, the above projects are definitely, definitely confirmed now. No changes were needed and all students have confirmed. I have a bit of admin setup to do in the forums and CVS now, but the light is definitely green.
@syedhs: I just didn't fill in the rest until the student confirmed, which Hamilton has now. As for the project allocation, it's proportional to the number of applications you get, bounded by the number of applications your mentors can handle. So Apache got 25 for example Our allocation was right in the average bracket since there were 636 projects approved over 100-odd organisations.
@Lee04: yes, the irony of the fact that I berated you for contacting students too early and then ended up doing the very same myself is not lost on me Apologies for flying off the handle earlier, I see how easy that mistake was to make now.
@DasGurke: the intention of this project is to bring XSI support up to the level of oFusion. I'll be posting projects pages on the wiki later.
