 ===  What will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes? ===
-Our experiences last year show that guys who are genuinely interested in the project will stick around. And that's really the drive for open source: to be interested in the project one is participating. We will try to select students who best match this criterion. Other than that, we run a cool team with loose coding deadlines and a cheerful IRC channel and mailing list, so prospective team members should feel at home soon. We always welcome new contributions with pleasure. Spending some time before someone gets promoted to normal team membership is how we've always done it; GSoC gives us the chance to implement this again, with added benefits too :-)
+We already have handful of students as our team members from the past two years. Our project brings both fun and challenge, so those folks who like such stuff. That is the prime force which runs Open Source, and we are proud to be one of the biggest OSS project.
+We hope that this will be valued by our students and that if time permit for them, they will stick to the project and continue pushing it forward. We always greet new developers with a warm, nice hug, and nobody feels abandoned :)
