Apologies for not posting sooner, but the organization acceptance
emails have gone out and the participating list of organizations has
been posted on the Google Summer of Code website.  Lua was not one of
the 175 out of 500 organizations selected this year so there won't be
any formal participation in the program.  I'm waiting to get feedback
from the program coordinator so we can better understand why our
application wasn't chosen, so we have a better chance of being
accepted in the future.

As soon as I have that feedback, I will post a follow-up to the list.
