A pity. ROS would have been a good candidate to fulfill Ubuntu slot.
I just stated a few examples. I highly value those projects, however I just can't understand that yet another framework in python, or a game engine for a turnbased strategies, or a collection of FOSS software for Windows with a package manager (which we already have, and which could have been improved), or an institution which believes that AI takes over the world and tries to stop that are way more important than supporting an organization whose product would be of use for millions of people, and would create a real alternative operating system compatible with the vast majority of existing software and hardware.
Have you tried asking all of this to gsoc people? (that would probably be Leslie Hawthorn)
