Yes, this news is unfortunate, but there is some level of turnover in 
GSoC every year.  We'll try to get feedback on the selection decision.

This happened to the Fedora project last year and they ended up creating 
their own SoC project:

Lalith and I started to discuss about trying something similar, and we 
can perhaps talk about it next week at the workshop and developer's 
meeting.  If people are interested in trying an unofficial program 
(perhaps with a bring-your-own-funding model), please let us know.
