Hi All,
like a good OSS citizen, ambassador and admin, I checked with gsoc folks. This topic has been recently discussed by gsoc and the answer is as follows:

==============
(10:08:36 AM) Michitux: asaldhan: the question was if organizations that participated for two or three years under an umbrella org would be subject to the limit for new orgs, and the official answer from cat allman is that they would view them as experienced orgs

(10:09:55 AM) Michitux: asaldhan: and that the limit to 1 or 2 slots is mainly in order to give new orgs a chance to learn how to handle the demands of the program

(10:12:33 AM) asaldhan: Michitux: agree to the justification but as my blog post says (http://anil-identity.blogspot.com/2012/04/student-interaction-via-gsoc-has-been.html), we are fully prepared. :)
==============

So now we have no excuses *not* to submit fantabulous proposals.

Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,

Thank you very much for your answer, you have reassured me.
It will be a special summer for JBoss community.
I hope that I get accepted and I wish good luck for others too.

Hi Jacub,
    if you continue reading through the page, you will see they take into
account the number of mentors
and projects at a participating organization.  Have you looked at our
Ideas page to count the number of
potential projects and mentors?

Students are free to send proposals to more than one participating
organization. Or gsoc forbids that?

Cheers.

Although I hope that they will took into consideration that You had
actually been participating in GSOC as part of Fedora.

Houssem,
      why worry about things that none of us has control over?  I am
*unsure*  if new organizations get 1 or 2 slots.

Students should make their proposals.  It is then up to the
administrators to work with the gsoc office. Previously JBoss projects
were part of the Fedora program in gsoc.  This year, we are independent.

We have credibility.

Anil

I'm not sure about the information, is that true that all new
organization (never participated in gsoc before) have a limited number
of students (1 or 2) ? because it's the case of JBoss here. It's the
first time that JBoss community participate independently in the gsoc
program.

Would you please update the description of the project in gsoc page so
we will have more chance to get more places :).

Houssem
