<div class="gmail_extra">Hi Anil,<br>
<br>
For long time, it was my desire to join open source movement.
Starting with GSoC is of course thrilling as you have a certain
goal & a deadline and more importantly, you have a mentor
who guides you to achieve the goal. For a starter, this guidance
is very much important.<br>
If I am selected for GSoC, the money will keep me well-funded
for my student life. Of course, it's a lucrative offer to learn
towards open source and get paid for the project at the same
time.<br>
I want to write about JBoss org in my resume if that's not a
problem.<br>
For last few days, I spent my time to learn JBoss tools &
some projects related to my proposal. It's not only for a four
month GSoC project. I wish I am going to be part of the
organization & contribute what I can.<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Regards -<br>
Khobaib.<br>

True,honest<br>

In an ideal world, there would be unlimited gsoc slots to
accommodate<br>
all students. But there are just a finite number of slots.
We have to<br>
reject many student proposals.<br>
<br>
Would the rejected students continue to participate in JBoss
community?<br>

would like to say the only reason I chose this project was
because I was interested in the description and I had heard
a lot about the JBoss community and wanted to be part of the
community. I had previous experience in Android development
so I believed I had the required experience to pull off this
project. That was the reason I approached the project
mentor, Kris Verlaenen, on what he expects from the project.
Had I been interested in GSOC only for the money, I would
have applied to 10 different companies and submitted
proposals to various projects(although the money is
lucrative, no doubt).<br>

any good technical organisations in Singapore and was
anyways looking for some project to do this summer. I have
no previous experience with open source but have always
admired it. This seemed like a very good opportunity to try
it out as well. I would love to continue with the project
even if it is not selected as part of GSOC program. It would
be great working with you as it has been great knowing
whatever little of jBPM I have experienced till now (Thanks
to Kris' help and his blogs).<br>
