  Hiya
 I think some of us (including me) are not sure if you're willing to proceed
 with the project or quite opposite - dropping it. If you are dedicated to
 move on and finish this assignment, i doubt anyone would be asking questions
 on why were you missing during the bounding period, provided that Google has
 no objections on you continuing this project. So if you are set up and ready
 to develop and Google has no objections, i sincerely dont think anyone here
 would mind. What really matters is getting the stuff done in time.
 Google has absolutely no objections.They just need approval e-mail from my 
mentor.I
hope I gain your trust back by my sincere and hard work.

  Hi,
 I am a GSoC student working on Audio Mixer Project.Unfortunately, I was
 not able to contact my mentor/administrator during community bonding
 period.I have disappointed whole of the community and you have every right
 to be angry and I am really sorry for my act.But I request you all to
 reconsider the following points :
 1. Firstly, Why would one disappear during community bonding period
 without any reason ? It is the easiest part of the whole program for a
 student in which they have to just talk to the community, which I think they
 have already been doing for not less than a month, then what is the problem
 in being in contact for another month.
 In my opinion a smart student who just wanted his initial payment would
 have disappeared after the community bonding period.Instead of coming back
 at the time of actual work.
 2. Some of you think that I was waiting for initial payment and then
 reappeared when i did not get it, I would like to say that I appeared
 without even knowing that my project has been discontinued, neither had
 anyone got his welcome package upto that time.Nothing regarding my project
 discontinuation had been reported in Melange.How could i get even a
 slightest idea about my project's termination.
 3. Some of you think that it is going to hurt the reputation of
 organisation for next year's selection at GSoC, I would like to admit that
 terminating my project will straightaway decrease project completion rate of
 ReactOS organisation to 80% and it may further reduce if some students
 actually do not complete the project which is considered too bad for an
 organisation.And believe me next year's sole criterion for organisation
 selection will be this success rate.
 4.Problems occur to every organisation and Google understands it very well
 and it doesn't affect the organisation's reputation that much.All that
 matters is the success rate.
 5. I talked to Google and they just want an email of consent from my
 mentor and its not too late.I have filled all my forms in due time.
 6. My project would have automatically been discontinued if I failed for
 Mid-term Evaluation.But no one gets benefit if my project is discontinued
 earlier.Take a chance guys, If I complete my project it will be good for
 both me and community if not terminating my project at both
 7. In case above explanations do not satisfy you and if you think this is
 only money I am after, I am ready to deposit $500 as security which is equal
 to the initial payment.[or whatever amount you say]
 This issue can be discussed in today's meeting.I am ready to answer all of
 your questions.I hope you will think about it with a cool mind keeping the
 anger/ego apart.
