This Tops The Economist

So, last year I was reading The Economist and noticed that Vijay Vaitheeswaran credited the organizers of Science Foo Camp as having been a source of inspiration for his article Something new under the sun. Seeing something I've worked hard to make happen in the pages of The Economist was.... Well, let's just say thrilled is not the word. I'm not sure ecstatic cuts it either. Sadly, the note doesn't appear in the online edition, but I can bust out hard copy for you anytime you'd like.

Then Paul Biondich of the OpenMRS project was kind enough to send along this article and this podcast from the BBC, the latter of which mentions Summer of Code as key source of developers for the project.

Dude. The BBC. Just when you thought nothing could top The Economist.

On Slashdot

I'm mentioned on the cover of Slashdot. My wee geek heart rejoices. Twice now.

And yes, we've extended the student application deadline for Summer of Code of this year. Not an April Fool's Day joke. That's just cruel.

Life is good.
