There were 20 accepted positions for Gnome in the Google SOC. There will only be 3 for this program. I guess it depends on the total number that apply as to whether someone had better odds in being accepted in the former or the latter and all we can do is guess at this point, but my personal guess is that the odds aren't much different. :)

I would expect that if your a female programming student that's about all it would take. Unless they have more then 3 show up.

All in all I don't mind. The summer of code is a pure public relations stuff so there is no such thing or realy any point to be fair about stuff.

It's not like some sort of government mandated quota system based on race or sex... :-)
