[Dave Clements]

Hello all,

This is a reminder that the deadline for applying to the 2010 GMOD Summer
School - Americas is the end of the day on Monday, February 22, which is now
less than a week away.  Any applications received after that will
automatically be placed on the waiting list.

Admission is competitive and is based on the strength of the application,
especially the statement of interest.  See
http://gmod.org/wiki/2010_GMOD_Summer_School_-_Americas for additional
information.

Thanks,

Dave Clements
