Hi Alex,

Sorry for the late reply.  I can confirm that your "IPFW NAT/Firewall
Libraries for FreeBSD" proposal was successfully submitted into the GSoC
system.  We will be reviewing all the proposals this week, so if we have
any questions for you, you'll hear from us.  In the meantime, if you
have any questions for us, we'll happily answer them off list.  You can
contact us at soc-admins@FreeBSD.org.

Kind regards,
Joe
