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
