Re: Midterm Evaluations failed for LDAP diagnostic tool plugin to Apache Directory Studio

[Keheliya Gallaba <ke...@gmail.com>]

Hello Devs,

This is to thank you all for the support you have given me to come this far
in the GSoC 2010 program, contributing to Apache Directory Studio project
for creating the LDAP diagnostic tool. Thank you Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot for
mentoring me, and providing invaluable feedback on my work. Thank you Stefan
Seelmann, Emmanuel Lecharny and all the other developers who helped me out
at difficult times and guided me. This program was a wonderful starting
point for my opensource development journey and I'm determined to go far. I
learned many things and experience I got is immense.

Although, I'll be missing the recognition as a Google Summer of Code student
and the stipend, I'll be continuing the work at [1] to complete the LDAP
diagnostic tool. A lending hand from all of you, when you can, is very much
appreciated.
