Each year since 2007, the program gave us the opportunity to have talented and motivated students working with us. We also love the GSoC mentor summit where we have the opportunity to share our knowledge with mentors from other projects and to learn a lot from them. That's why we wait impatiently, each year, for the announcement of a new GSoC program! | Each year since 2007, the program gave us the opportunity to have talented and motivated students working with us.

As usual, what we hope to gain is valuable code contributions. In previous years, we've had students take up and complete tasks which had been marked as "to-do", but the main developers had no time to implement them. The students took these up as self-contained GSoC projects and realized them. But also, some students have come up with new functionality, proposing and finally implementing it. These have been our favorite. | As usual, what we hope to gain is valuable code contributions.

In addition, we hope to gain new developers for the project. We hope that after their projects, students will stick around and improve them or work on other interesting tasks. We hope that GSoC brings the students in touch with open source and, in our case, brings them in touch with game development. We hope these students will add their piece of code to this project, but will also keep on contributing afterwards. | In addition, we hope to gain new developers for the project.

We've been successful in the past eight years, and we're really looking forward to great results from the program this year too. | We've been successful in the past eight years, and we're really looking forward to great results from the program this year too. | ||
