[gsoc] GSOC Students, what excites you?

[Sunimal Rathnayake]

Obviously, a big YES to all of them.

It's a rare chance a student can get during his life. So the thrill is
always there.
Money is part of everything, so in this case also money is a factor. But I
should say it's a secondary factor rather than a primary factor since my
main focus was to join the wave of open source rather than earning.

Obviously, having Jboss mentioned on my resume adds a huge value to it. So
yes, I'm very much interested in it.

I'm looking forward to join with jboss community as a contributor even if
I'm not selected for gsoc.

Thanks,
