The student who we accepted was unable to actually participate due to legal problems, and we did not find out about it until too late in the program to select a replacement student. So in short, there's nothing wrong with last year's GitTorrent, as there was no last year's GitTorrent. Hence it is on the list again for this year. :) -- Shawn.
