Re: [cdt-dev] Draft proposal for GSoC project for CDT/LSP integration

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Nate, in case you're not watching Twitter, Wayne has announced Eclipse has been selected for the GSOC and to contact emo@xxxxxxxxxxx to get hooked up. Not sure what the process is after that.

Thanks!
Doug.
