[sugar] Summer of Code update, meeting tomorrow 2100 UTC

[Samuel Klein]

I'm moving this to the gsoc list, to which you should subscribe.  Most of
what you need to know is covered in the general GSoC FAQ.

There is a log, I believe Mel was going to post it.  Thanks for the link to
your introduction.  I'm about to send out a brief update to everyone on this
list.

Cheers,
SJ
