Well, the 3.8 is finally finished. Really? Yeah, think so. The perfect software doesn’t exist. There is always room for improvement, there are always new ideas. But at a certain moment you have to draw a line. The question then becomes “is it good enough?”. In January I decided that, apart from some known missing things, I would wrap things up in April. The beginning of April I looked things over and, apart from the WMS client, all things were done and seemed to be in working order (WMS client was done in time). Sure some issues are still there, some inconsistencies in the UI, but as far as I could see nothing serious. Perfect software takes forever so I decided to release.

52°North GSoC Applications for 2012
The Google Summer of Code at 52°North took it’s next step forward. We are very glad to receive 35 applications on various of our project ideas. As far as we can tell this is a very good number for our first year with GSoC, and the whole programme received a record number of applications. The range of interested students is also very encouraging, with applications from India to Germany, and from 52°North and GSoC newcomers to students with experience in both the GSoC programme and our software. The graph below shows the creation dates of the proposals 52°North received.
In the next days, the mentors will review and rank the applications.
