Bernado asks: "Could you give us some feedback on the final amount of applications received and what you thought of them?"

For those of you that don't know how Google's site allows us to rank projects, each of the possible mentors can give a vote between -2 and 4.

We received 17 applications. 5 of those weren't up to the standard set by the other applications and received a negative amount of votes. 5 of the other applications were relatively strong and received under 10 votes. Of the remaining 7 applications that scored 10 or more points, one of them was from the same student (which is fine, we just can't accept both) and one of them decided to accept mentorship by another organization. So we ended up with 5 pretty strong, usable applications. One of the ActiveX canvas tag projects was the 5th submission, which was narrowly edged out, probably due to concerns over ActiveX that weren't completely handled in the proposal.
