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."

    mine got rejected ;-)

    Dear Michal,

    Yeah, sorry about that. Unfortunately your particular proposal did not align with my goals for total world domination. Your submission "The Free Simulator for Coconut-Swallow Aerodynamics" while interesting, would not have been useful as I have already researched this topic throughly and concluded ducks are the optimal fowl for coconut transport.

    Sincerly,
    Google Inc.

    Anyone else think it's a little odd to be pushing open source development with cash?

    Yes, they should really be using bash.

    I am accepted and I am too geeky to celebrate that as it should have been celebrated. Doh!
