[Nix-dev] Google Summer of Code 2017

[Domen Kožar]

We aren't participating in GSOC 2017, because I missed the submission
deadline.


That being said, I know people will be disappointed by this. I'm sorry,
I have no excuses really. I was overworked at that time and totally forgot
to watch the dates.

I already applied us two times, I hope I'll gather the energy to try again
next year.
But since I screwed up this year, someone else can take over if wanted,
I understand not to be trusted :)
