I would prefer Esug to be the sponsoring organization.
Since ESUG got rejected last year - even though we got nice projects, these two factors make a Pharo submission probably better.
We are not unique in getting rejected every few years. Ruby on Rails didn't get selected in 2012. There are many more requests than available slots. Last year, Janko ruined our chances of getting selected. GSoC is supposed to be good for Google's image. Having a loose cannon as organizer is unacceptable, and something we couldn't solve in time.
