Basically, all the organizations accepted to Summer of Code look at their applications and decide how many applications they got that they think are good and that they can handle. Google's Open Source Program Office (which is a completely different set of people from the Google engineers who work on gcc) takes all those numbers into a room, plus the number of overall slots that Google has agreed to fund. They do some magic process divvying up the available slots among the numbers that the organizations request. One reason GCC got more slots than we did in previous years is that we got more good applications, and we asked for more slots. It's also possible that other organizations asked for fewer slots, I have no idea. Ian
