just a reminder that the deadline is this Wednesday, the conference  
organizers need to know by then if they should keep the GSoC slot  
open...

I have not had any responses from students so far, which surprises me  
a bit, is it just due to Strasbourg being too far away for all our  
European students?

I would encourage you again to consider participating, please don't  
hesitate because you feel that you'll have nothing to talk about yet,  
I'm sure everyone at the conference will be very happy to meet  
students interested in Tcl and will be keen to hear about your plans  
for your project.
I feel that giving a short talk will definitely be valuable to you and  
your project, by crystallizing out the central project goals, and by  
publicizing and deepening your involvement in the community.

If you're not sure if it is worthwhile making the trip just for the  
GSoC session, here is the current list of abstracts for the  
conference, hopefully something will pique your interest:

Cheers,
