[SoC] Google Summer of Code 2010 begins

[Jorge Arevalo]

I've not been accepted this year, but I'd like to thank Wolf and the
rest of the admin for their excellent work. For the students: good
luck, and work hard. It really worths.

I'm going to work in my project, anyway, so, I'll be on the list :-)
