[soc2008-general] student application deadline extended a week

[James Tauber]

For better or worse, Google has extended the student application  
deadline by a week.

That means if you haven't applied yet, you have another week to do so.

People who have already applied can take the opportunity to further  
refine their proposals.


Student Application Deadline Extended
This year, we experimented with the program timeline providing one  
week for students to discuss project ideas with their mentors and then  
a single week to submit applications. We have heard feedback from the  
community that it would be beneficial to provide more time for  
students to submit their applications, so we've done just that. The  
new deadline for student applications is Monday, April 7, 2008. Please  
see the revised program timeline for full details on the updated  
Google Summer of Code 2008 schedule.
