Accepted Students
Adrien "pulkomandy" Destugues and Alex "yourpalal" Wilson are prime examples of our achievements in this. They successfully passed their individual Google Summer of Code participations. They have become integral parts of the development force. Now, they are completing the circle by mentoring new students, who will hopefully become tomorrow's contributors with commit access. Perhaps the most interesting tidbit in all this, is that Adrien was Alex's mentor last year, thus showing how Google Summer of Code is literally expanding Haiku's development pool one talented mind at a time.

Additional Mentors
It is worth noting that Haiku has moved past the "one mentor per student mentality". In addition to the primary mentors listed above, the following people are part of a pool of mentors. The mentor pool is available to all students, as a supplement to their officially listed mentors. This improves the so-called Bus Factor, by enabling other interested and knowledgeable people to participate in the students' daily activities.

- Axel Dörfler
- René Gollent
- Ryan C. Gordon (from SDL)
- Fredrik Holmqvist
- Phillippe Houdoin
