I'd like to second Christophers' comments in congratulating Jorn and 
welcoming him into the Fedora team. I'm really looking forward to see 
what we can do together.

I think this is a really exciting time for Linux Audio, and its time 
Fedora caught up. I encourage all the members of the list to voice your 
opinions/concerns now such that we have sufficient time to address them 
before Fedora 18 (may seem like a long way away, but its not). It will 
also give Jorn a heads up before his project finishes.

To the other applicants: the number of slots allocated to Fedora by 
Google this year was smaller than we expected, and as a result we were 
only able to choose one applicant, whereas we would have liked two. That 
doesn't mean you can't contribute to Fedora and/or the Audio spin, all 
efforts are welcome, and can only improve your GSOC chances next year.

regards,

Brendan
