I guess the answer would be &quot;Yes! Definitely&quot; to all of them.<br><br>I&#39;ve heard about GSOC 2 years ago, but I guess I was too much of a novice back then. This is the first year I&#39;ve actually applied, and it would be a tremendous attitude booster if I get selected. ;)<br>

<br>And yes of course, the money. The amount is actually quite a lot for someone from India like me. Basically it would cover my entire 4 year Engineering Education Tuition Fee!<br><br>And to actually work with the JBoss community, that would really look good on my resume. &quot; I&#39;ve worked on a GSOC project for JBoss &quot; would sound real cool when going for a professional interview anywhere.<br>
