Google has updated its timeline so that all of its dates are pushed back
by a week:

So the final student selections are to be made on April 18. Try to have
the code from your qualification task committed to FFmpeg SVN well
before then, of course.

Great news, overall. We appreciate getting more free labor out of you
students. :)
