I refrained from voicing my opinion while the call for help was going = on, but I completely agree that the target age of this Google initiative = is inadequate to FreeBSD. The target population is 13 years to 17 years = old and I cannot even imagine a 13 year old knowing what FreeBSD is. I'm not sure we should participate in Code In ever again and perhaps we = should focus our efforts on Summer of Code only. -- Rui Paulo
