I am really glad to see the responses from the students.
True,honest<br>
conversations are a forte of open source software. :)<br>
<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>
