+At the day July 15, I received an email from The Google Open Source
+Programs Team stating that I successfully passed the Midterm
+Evaluations. This means that I passed the first evaluation and part of
+Google Summer of Code 2011 program.
+
+I know this a late news since it's already July 20th, but I didn't had
+much time to write due to other personal issues with regards of my
+move away from my hometown.
+
+I want to give my sincere appreciation to everybody that helped me in
+the first part, cheered me up, and to everybody that was involved with
+my work. This is of course to my mentors, [[http://lumberjaph.net/][Franck Cuny]] and [[http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/][Sawyer X]],
+the Dancer core team ([[http://ambs.perl-hackers.net/][ambs]], [[http://www.preshweb.co.uk/][bigpresh]], [[http://www.sukria.net/][sukria]], [[http://damien.krotkine.com/][dams]]), [[http://www.perlfoundation.org/][the Perl
+Foundation]] people: rafl and mdk. Also [[http://msud.pl/][Hobbestigrou]] for his sincere
+comments and chats, that have occur from time to time.
+
+Now for the second part of the program, my routine is more
+established, and I know how my work flow is. I can quickly catch-up
+with work if I get behind schedule, and work around several instances
+of issues.
+
+But more than that, the first part gave me a glance of how the
+community works, how everybody works with each other, and how
+everything must be documented for further reference. Now, I can truly
+say that more than the community, the whole project is about hard
+work, spending time for any PR, issue or feature. It's a great
+commitment to the community. The time every developer adds to the
+project, and helping out is the soul of the project; every
+contribution be it, helping someone on the #dancer channel or adding a
+really impressive PR is what thrives this project to the successful
+software that Dancer is.
+
+So for everybody, that helps me, helps others, and the ones that help
+not only on Dancer but other fields related to Perl and FOSS, thanks
+for your time.
