<br></div>Some numbers like the contributions of participants before
GSoC, during GSoC, and after GSoC for previous Fedora GSoCs (or for all

unselected entries follow up with the progress of the proposal.<br>

</div></div>A lot of people would not be able to afford to spend time on projects<br>
like this without programmes like GSOC, that's what makes it so great!<br>
I know it may seem like "oh these folks are just doing it for the<br>
money", but many do it because the money enables them to do it (don't<br>
have to spend all their time doing something pointless like flipping<br>
burgers). Even though they many people would like to do it anyway,<br>
they have to spend all their time making as much money as they can so<br>
that they can go back to continue their studies.<br>
