<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi gsoc students,<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>
