Great news!
Congratulations
perhaps Novell can sponsor the 57 that weren’t chosen to be worked on privately.
You assume that the other 57 (where did you get that number?) were actually worth accepting. There were probably another 10 worthwhile projects at most.
Oh, should have read the article more carefully :-/
