over $50,000 of Google funding brought to Boost in 2014
This is quite a surprise to me. I would be curious to know more about it. Could you point to a more detailed breakdown on this number?
Robert, You made an excellent catch. This morning, before coffee, I multiplied US$6000 by 8 in my head and somehow came up with $54,000, rather than $48,000 which is the correct amount. I should have used Calc, I knew it then but I was in a rush. I'll correct the value next GSoC reminder email. To break that down as requested, last year $5,500 went to each student, and $500 to each mentor, making $6000 per slot awarded, and we received eight slots in 2014. Apologies to everyone for the bad mental arithmetic. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
