SEED and PreSEED Application Update

We are in the midst of two Sun worldwide Engineering mentoring program application periods. The first is a SEED term for Global Sales & Service (see my October 22, 2008 entry, all material is due tomorrow - 12 November), and the second is for PreSEED (see my October 31, 2008 entry, all material is due 14 November). I am sending out daily summary reports in email to the applicants and their managers. Tanya Jankot and I are replying to many email questions. SEED and PreSEED will accept a maximum of fifty participants per term (no minimum number). Both mentoring terms will run from January-June 2009.

Status?
So far, we have 80 GSS applications (43 complete) and 81 PreSEED applications (51 complete). The applicants for these terms are very diverse geographically, working in:

    Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, France, Germany, India, Israel,
    Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia,
    Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK
    USA: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts,
