Hello, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) and Google have accepted three pygame related proposals this year. Here is the official announcement: http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/python There were around 30 pygame related proposals submitted to the PSF - more than any other python related project. With so many proposals, not all of them could be accepted. We'd like to thank everyone who spent time writing their proposals - many of them were of very high quality. Congratulations to Tyler Laing, Werner Laurensse, and Vincent Marti. Tyler Laing is going to be working on an enhanced movie module using ffmpeg. Werner Laurensse is going to be working on improving the camera module, especially on OS X. Vicent Marti will be working on improvements to the font module, and writing bindings to freetype. Marcus von Appen, Nirav Patel, and Rene Dudfield will be mentors for these projects. There were also a number of SDL related proposals that were accepted. These are: Enhance International Input Support for Mac OS X International Input (X11) Automated Testing Suite for SDL Playstation3 Port (http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/sdl) along with a number of python related proposals of interest to pygame people, including adding SIMD optimisations to numpy with the corepy assembler. We would like to thank you all for your time spent on anything and invite you to join the pygame development, if you want to work on your proposals anyways. Feel free to ask us for help guiding you on your first steps with them and be assured that your commitment is and will be highly appreciated. Regards Marcus
