This year's student projects have been posted at the Ruby Summer of Code. I can't help but be amazed at the choice of teams that are going to receive stipends. Almost all the projects touch a topic that is dear to my heart. Identity maps for ActiveRecord? Hell yeah! Mail processing that works out of the box? Hell yeah! Yes, please! A setup-less teaching environment with Camping? Get out of my head!

Good luck to all the teams who made it. Your efforts will be appreciated by Ruby workers from all over the planet. Also a big thank you to the sponsors and mentors who made the event possible.
