Last year a lot of organizations with corporate sponsorship get
accepted (MySql, OpenMoko,Fedora... ), and also Maemo participated in
GSoC 2007 leaded by a Nokia employee (Quim Gil). This year we are
trying to bring the Maemo community to GSoC and not Nokia or their
interests (of course we accept help from Nokia :) )

I think this deserve a try at least :)
