Hi Anil,<br><br>I would really like to be part of Jboss community actively. Here in Argentina I don't see that being part of the community is spreaded enough, so this is not only a great oportunity for my resume, but for people that can become interested in helping an participating. I am sure students in my university will be motivated to participate next year in GSOC if they see everyone can help in a community and good things can be done.<br>
<br>I also think the money is a great atraction, but of course after GSOC I will continue being part of the community and specially of my two favourites projects: jBPM and Drools. Every time I participated in forums, irc, etc, the community has shown me that this is the way to go, helping others and making projects grow! <br>
<br>I guess it answers all your questions with a big "yes!".<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Demian<div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 12:49 PM, Anil Saldhana <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Anil.Saldhana@redhat.com" target="_blank">Anil.Saldhana@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

soon GSOC will announce the accepted student proposals and the<br>
rejected proposals. Until they make the formal announcement, please<br>
disregard any accepted/rejected emails that the system may send.<br>
Apparently there are bugs in the Google Melange site. :)<br>
<br>
While there will be a few happy students, there will be many students<br>
who will turn unhappy. The main reason is that the number of gsoc is<br>
always finite/limited where as the Ideas/Proposals is large.<br>
<br>
At JBoss community, we have been very thrilled to see so much excitement<br>
among both the mentors and students.<br>
<br>
Now I come to an important question for our gsoc students who put in<br>
their proposals.<br>
<br>
Students, what excites you about the GSOC12 program with JBoss<br>
community? Please answer *honestly* (We are smart enough to figure out<br>
dishonest people)<br>
<br>
a) Is it the thrill of being in the gsoc 12 program?<br>
b) Is it the money from the gsoc program?<br>
c) Are you very interested to add JBoss Community on your resume?<br>
d) Are you doing this because you want to be part of the JBoss Community<br>
Open Source ecosystem?<br>
<br>
I am asking all these questions because I want to see if you can<br>
continue to be part of the JBoss Community ecosystem, if your proposal<br>
is rejected.<br>
<br>
"I am looking for passion for open source."<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Anil<br>
