Ruby Central was not selected for 2009. We didn't apply this year. Our
impression overall has been that the SoC administrators see little or
no value in having a general Ruby project mentor (analogous to the
Perl Foundation, for example). They've never said this in so many
words but it's hard to draw any other conclusion.

So -- ever onward. We're definitely interested in the general idea of
supporting summer student projects, and are looking into some
non-Google possibilities. Stay tuned!
