[Owasp_project_leader_list] Google Summer of Code: Submissions Update

Wed Mar 26 10:49:08 UTC 2014

Thank you for the kind words Simon, unfortunately I do wrong things too
and a public apology will follow shortly :)
regarding "why do students submit for OWTF" I ran a poll last year, the
results are here:

I am running another poll this year, results to be announced soon :).

Thank you everybody,

Abe
