Dear Mr. Saldhana,

There are several reasons I would like to participate.
The feeling that I only need a computer and an internet connection to create something useful and that I can work with such an unselfish people are the main reasons I am interested in open source projects.
Of course, money would be a big help. Here in Hungary the situation is not too good and if I want to be sure about my future I have to build a strong resume. This motivates me a lot, GSoS with JBoss would be a perfect start. I am lucky that my mentor is Jonathan Fuerth. He spared no effort to help me, and there are others in JBoss community who were very helpful. It would be an honor working with them, also it gives me a huge motivation that the realization of this project is long waited. So with or without GSoC I would like to continue the project.
 
I really hope that I am allowed to continue. Thank you!

Best regards,

Ogi

Hi gsoc students,
   soon GSOC will announce the accepted student proposals and the
rejected proposals.  Until they make the formal announcement, please
disregard any accepted/rejected emails that the system may send.
Apparently there are bugs in the Google Melange site. :)

While there will be a few happy students, there will be many students
who will turn unhappy.  The main reason is that the number of gsoc is
always finite/limited where as the Ideas/Proposals is large.

At JBoss community, we have been very thrilled to see so much excitement
among both the mentors and students.

Now I come to an important question for our gsoc students who put in
their proposals.

Students, what excites you about the GSOC12 program with JBoss
community?  Please answer *honestly* (We are smart enough to figure out
dishonest people)

a) Is it the thrill of being in the gsoc 12 program?
b) Is it the money from the gsoc program?
c) Are you very interested to add JBoss Community on your resume?
d) Are you doing this because you want to be part of the JBoss Community
Open Source ecosystem?

I am asking all these questions because I want to see if you can
continue to be part of the JBoss Community ecosystem, if your proposal
is rejected.

"I am looking for passion for open source."

Regards,
Anil
