Hi.

1) We like open source.

2) We like open source people, including Gnomers (gnomites? Gnomes?)

3) We use open source.

4) We are open source people.

5) We felt open source needs a little fresh blood now and then. *

6) We felt that there were a lot of students who would work on open

source, if they didn't have to flip burgers.

Hence: Summer of Code.

* not that I mind running into Nat and Miguel at every damn conference

I go to. :-)
