"Google Summer of Code 2007 is on! Last year, Google funded over 600 students in 93 countries to work with 100 open source groups. We're extremely happy to announce that we'll be holding Google Summer of Code again this year. We look forward to helping new contributors join the community and write more code."

They really don't care Mike, just look at how many of the projects involved last year, and even the year before, were in competition with one another. NetBSD/FreeBSD/Fedora/Ubuntu/GNU/Debian/Gentoo/OpenSuSE/OpenSolaris/Re actOS, Pearl/PHP/Mono/Python/Ruby/Haskell, GNOME/KDE/Project Looking Glass, Daisy/Drupal/LiveJournal, Monotone/Subversion... Well, I am sure I've missed other projects that compete with one another, but you get the idea.
Perhaps the ideas that were suggested were considered out of the league of the SoC, perhaps they felt they'd already selected too many mentoring operating system projects, who knows really, but it is nothing personal, that's for sure. It did say 100 groups, perhaps you were applicant 101?
