We had another strong application that was withdrawn before the deadline. We decided to focus our efforts on fewer projects and get them merged rather than splitting up on multiple weaker applications. 2013 is also the first year where we made merging back to trunk at the end of the program mandatory.

Unfortunately, the MacPorts project was not accepted into Google Summer of Code 2012. Google wanted to make some room for new organizations. We have been told our application was strong and we should definitely re-apply in the following year.
