[PD] GSoC Organization App 2008 wiki page

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Better luck next year... we didn't get it:

A word to everyone for future reference, personal connections are key  
in getting grants.  So if anyone here ever meets Chris DiBona, Greg  
Stein and Leslie Hawthorn, tell them about the wonders of Pd.  Or  
better yet, show them! :)

There is always the possibility of some joint projects with things like:

Blender
OGRE
OpenMoko
ffmpeg
Ruby

.hc
