Subject: OSGeo: APPLICATIONIDEA

Dear FIRSTNAME LASTNAME,

We at OSGeo regret to inform you that your application APPLICATIONIDEA has not been funded by Google.

We still feel that you had a strong application, and given additional funding we would have liked to have had you along. You made the short list.
If you are still interested in your project and choose to proceed without funding, Google has agreed to send you some goodies if the work is complete
by summer's end (including a standard Google t-shirt). Perhaps your school has an independent study program where you could receive course credit for the task?

We hope to see you applying also next year!

Thank you very much for your interest and ideas, we value it!

Regards,
OSGeo SoC Mentoring team
