Re: Gsoc Rejection, or SUMMER OF COD

["rymg19@xxxxxxxxx" <rymg19@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is the cod raised without hormones? Will we be forced to eat cod sperm?
What do the cod have to say about this?

As you may have noticed, we were not accepted for this year's google summer of
code, in spite of our organization vitality and clear leadership in the 'wheel
reinvention' domain. However, we've got a backup plan.

Today I'm pleased to announce that I am announcing the GARGLE SUMMER OF COD.
This program is smaller program than 'Summer of Code'. Precisely one letter
smaller, in fact.

Eligibility:
	In order to qualify for GARGLE SUMMER OF COD, we will need to be able
	to ship you cod. If we can figure out how to ship your sea-stipend,
	you are elegible to apply. Talk to us for shipping details.
		
Stipend:
	Of course, good work should be rewarded. And, since we all know that
	sea lions love fish, we'll be rewarding you in cod.

	A successful project will be rewarded several pounds of cod.
	Vegetarian substitutes are available. (Are sea cucumbers vegetables?)

Project ideas:

	We have the Google Summer of Code page up. Use it for ideas.
	 	https://myrlang.org/gsoc.html

How To Apply:

	Send an email to the mailing list, or ping us on IRC. If your idea
	sounds interesting, and you seem like yu will be able to execute,
	we'll put your name down as a participant.

	Because there's only so much fish I'm willing to have shipped, there
	is a limited number of slots, so let us know you're planning to work
	on something in advance.

	At the end of the summer, if you've produced code, we ship cod.

FAQ:
	Are you serious?
		- We never take ourselves that seriously. But we promise
		  you'll get your cod.

	When can I get my fish?
		- We'll be shipping it on August 31st.

	What projects are eligible?
		- Myrddin, SCC, QBE.

	What fishmonger does GARGLE SUMMER OF COD use?
		- We're open to suggestions, but if you are in the USA, we
		  will default to Pike Place:
		  https://www.pikeplacefish.com/pages/shipping

	Is GARGLE SUMMER OF COD considered an internship, a job, or any form of
	employment?
		- No. You're fucking getting paid in fish, for fuck's sake.

	Why fish?
		- Budget constraints.

	Can I chose the types of fish I'm paid in?
		- DEBATABLE.

	Aw, shucks, why are you doing this?
		- YOU CAN'T SHUCK FISH, ONLY OYSTERS.

	Where does GARGLE SUMMER OF COD occur?
		- Summer. It's in the name. Literacy please.

	What can I do to help spread the word about GARGLE SUMMER OF COD?
		- Stand on a street corner and preach with a megaphone. The
		  more people we can convince to rant in public about getting
		  paid in fish, the better.

	When can I apply for GARGLE SUMMER OF COD?
		- There are no deadlines. If you ask early enough, and ship a
		  significant feature this summer, you will get your fish.

	Do I have to be a student?
		- Nope, I don't care. Ship us code, we ship you cod.

	What kind of code do you prefer?
		- E-fish-ent code, of course.

	Will there be T-Shirts?
		- We'll be trying to arrange artwork for shirts. We make no
		  promises on the quality.

	What if I have more questions?
		- NO MORE QUESTIONS ARE ALLOWED.
