The Apache Software Foundation is on the top of the list with 38 projects allocated out of total 410 slots, followed by KDE, FreeBSD, and 38 other mentoring organizations. The accepted applications will be posted early next week. More than 8700 applications have been submitted. Thanks Greg Stein and Chris DiBona for the hard work."

    They are loading up with PHds and scientists. If these guys had any useful brains, they would be super rich already. At least they'll be wasting private funds and not public funds. Doesn't anyone think Google needs more Microsoft-type people...people with tech and biz smarts ?

    Without Google-type people, who would Microsoft-type people copy? If you doubt this, I dare you to name a single Microsoft project that isn't ultimately copied from something a PHD or scientist dreamed up. Even their "research" projects tend to be of the applied type, rather than the "new ideas" type.
