Google Summer of Code™ by the Numbers

As the fifth instance of Google Summer of Code gets underway, we thought it would be interesting to look back at the first four years. Our team is frequently asked things like, "How many countries are represented by the participants?", or "Did anyone from X school ever participate?" so we decided to compile some statistics and make them available for everyone.

There are several reports available to you:

Number of Mentors per Country by Year
Number of Accepted Students per Country by Year
Number of Accepted Students per School by Year
Degree Sought by Accepted Students by Year
Participating Projects by Year
Summaries of #s by Year

Google Docs will let you sort by column to organize the data as you want, so slice and dice to find what interests you. Please let us know what you think - we welcome your comments.
