Ah, my confusion comes from the fact that Great Britain/United Kingdom and
Ukraine are, afiak, the only ccTLDs that deviate from the ISO country
codes... because some mook assumed that the UK must have had uk as a ccTLD,
and then they had to find something else for the Ukraine... the UK, of
course, is gb as far as the ISO codes are concerned...

This is a little bit off the topic, but for the archives...
UA is the country code for Ukraine, and uk in the language code for the Ukrainian language. So there is no confusion as far as UA is concerned. :-)
The list of countries is very interesting. Would it be a lot of work to publish the complete list? Even if it is long? I'd like to see where Ireland is. Thanks.
Hey, T-Shirts should atleast be given to those who give good proposals. Wearing a Google T-shirt boosting about Open Source will be cool and make this event more popular for next year. ( Ahem I am not worried as I would be graduating next year ;-))
And It would make up a little for the heart break!
Yeah. I think the FAQ stated that a TShirt would be presented to all participants. I think I am a participant as I have proposed for an idea. So I must be getting a TShirt. ;-) Please

i wouldn't be too concerned about the 8k, because i don't think they
have eliminated all the revised applications yet, so not only people
who sent more applications, but also those who re-sent it would be
count more than once...

You should remember that RU was not even in short-list in SOC application form!
Russian Federation was exactly after Ruanda in the bottom of
alphabetically-ordered list, while selected countries like US, Canada,
GB was on top in short non-alphabetical list..
Next time consider listing Russian Federation on top too :p

To make it even _more_ confusing, UK is the *language* code that
stands for Ukrainian. So we have our locale as uk_UA. Which confuses
almost everyone at first.
