You can even say they there something a bit fishy about this whole response!
More seriously, Summer of code was always a long shot. Tiny org, tiny userbase, no alignment with Google’s long term vision, no connections with the selection committee. There’s no surprise that we were rejected, and if I were running Summer of Code I’d probably have rejected us too.
This… uh.. program.. actually started off as a typo – but I was amused by the idea of people getting cod, so I decided to go with it. It’s just a joke carried through to ridiculousness, and there’s really no bigger commentary in it.
I just thought it would be funny to be the kind of project that ships fish to people as a ‘thank you’. Getting rejected from Summer of Code was an excuse.
Definitely will consider it!
We’d love to have you!
Not getting accepted to the Google SoC? Sounds like they’re pretty…. salty.
