[Gdal-dev] Google Summer of Code

[Howard Butler]

All,

Just spamming again to remind folks about the Google Summer of Code.   
<http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2007/02/speaking-of- 
summer.html>  So far, only one student has expressed interest in  
participating.  I'm hoping that the government and academic types  
that use GDAL/OGR can beat the bushes to drum up a few more students  
interested.
