[amsat-bb] Google Summer of Code - mentorship application from Open Research Institute

[Joshua Abraham]

I’m inclined to agree that a hateful response such as that does not belong on this list. 
What’s worse is to see it coming from someone who represents the organization. 

KI7UNJ, I’m not sure where this frustration is coming from, but friend, this was not the place to let it out. 

Let’s all try to remember why we are here and why we became hams to begin with.
