+@subheading Two LilyPond projects in Google Summer of Code 2016 @emph{April 23, 2016}
-We are thrilled that the edition of the songs of Oskar
-Fried (1871-1941), published recently by our fellow contributors Urs Liska
-and Janek Warchoł [1], received the "Musikeditionspreis BEST EDITION
-2014" of the German Music Publishers' Association [2]. The ceremony
-took place at the Frankfurt Musikmesse.
+We are happy to see two students, Nathan Chou and Jeffery Shivers, working on
+LilyPond as participants in the Google Summer of Code this year. We hope they
+produce great results and stay in the developer community afterwards.
-We congratulate Janek and Urs for gaining such public recognition of
-typographical and editorial excellence of their work. We are also delighted
-to inform you that they intend to make their work available under a Free
-license as soon as the publisher expenses are covered. Please support this
-initiative by buying the printed volume through the publisher [3].
+Nathan will tackle an annoying limitation, namely the unability of spanners
+to cross voices. His work will make a class of ugly workarounds obsolete.
+Jeffery will bring the ScholarLY package[1] to production quality and add a
+LaTeX package to it, making it possible to create beautiful critical reports
+from data encoded directly in the LilyPond score.
