StatusNet in the Google Summer of Code 2010

We're really excited to have been picked as an official mentor organization for Google Summer of Code 2010. Google has been providing this excellent program of grants for college students to work on Open Source projects during their break. The students get a chance to work with an established team of developers and work on some really cool code, and projects like StatusNet get contributions from students putting in full time on a project.

One-click install of StatusNet on DreamHost

Having the software available as a one-click install is going to help a lot of DreamHost customers.
