Re: [Axiom-developer] Summer Of Code

[Heow Eide-Goodman]

I'm (Heow from LispNYC) coordinating with Google.

Still waiting for my login to their system so I'm hearing everything

Anyway, LispNYC is still working on procedures for processing of the
applications (which it looks like we're doing) with the words
"inclusive" as our mantra.

Cheers,
