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

[Alex Escalona]

Mel and Samuel,

Thanks for the quick reply! I've been keeping up pretty well with all of the
info over at GSoC, so I'll just say that I'm up-to-date on that front. Also,
I just joined the gsoc list at laptop.org. Surprised I didn't catch that one
sooner.

Thanks again,
Alex
