I envy you. I would have liked to attend, and I already had to pass last year. I had expected to be in the middle of my finals by now, but it’ll actually be another month. But I have most of my dates now, at least.

Also I’m such a cheapskate, flying over the ocean to attend a conference is a bit out of my league. Guess I need to find a sponsor for such things. Just like I could use a build and test machine for my SELinux work and for backporting (I have four pbuilder setups on my laptop), maybe with an UML or Xen virtualization setup for easier and faster testing. Well, I may dream, okay? ;-)

My favourite DebCamp postings so far:
no nude swimming pool use (wear at least an Ipod!) SCNR.

As for the Google Summer Of Code: we’ve received lots of applications, I think somewhere in the 80s. Some pretty bogus (some don’t even have a title), but also very cool ones. A dozen duplicate proposals, too. I think our “favourites” list is around 20, but I don’t expect Google will sponsor this many, and we also need enough mentors.
