Please welcome the four GSOC projects this year

[Rajdeep Bharati]

Dear mentors,

Thank you for selecting me and I'm really excited about the project.
I would also like to thank the MacPorts and buildbot community for
resolving my queries and helping me solve problems.
Looking forward to a wonderful summer! I will give my best.

Rajdeep
