That is indeed mundane. A little bit sad, for Mahmoud. To you, Mahmoud: also my apologizes.
This is surely not any comforting, it is my fault and I profoundly apologize. I hope that this doesn't deter your trajectory in Free software, and that we will see more contributions from you.
I think we should make an attempt to be better at this, so that this wont happen in future. In which ways can alumni Tracker developers assist you? I saw the request for Mahmoud's GSoc Proposal review in April and I noticed Sam's reply to it. I figured all is Quiet on the Western Front and that I could go on with my daily activities. I didn't realize some kind of action could have been assisted with. ps. I used to be GSoc mentor when GSoc was still a very young project. So I know there is some amount of work involved in getting a student through the process. I have no idea how it is like today. Last time I wanted to help out, I needed a GMail account. I wasn't willing to get myself such an account, but the people from Google accommodated me. Not sure if it's easily doable to be of any assistance without such a GMail account? Kind regards, Philip
