[GSoC] [OBF-GSoC-Mentors] OBF & GSoC 2015

[Peter Cock]

Thank you Raoul, and everyone else who contributed.

This has happened to the OBF before, and we never really understood
why. So don't feel bad for your efforts - we gave it a good shot. Thank
you all.

We should post an announcement on the OBF news blog, and email to
all the project lists too? Could you write something? I can post it on the
blog or make an account there (I don't think you have one yet).
