Google Summer of Code 2009 & Me

It was 20th April, 2009, yesterday.

I was among the thousands around the globe who were waiting with a final hope...

It was the announcement day of the accepted proposals for Google Summer of Code 2009.
Finally, I was not lucky enough to get my project proposal accepted.

I applied for an Apache project, the Apache Roller which is a JavaEE based web application supporting for creating blogs.
Because of my interest in Java web applications, Apache Roller strike me most among the other projects.

Earlier I was thinking of take part in GSoC from 2010. But finally I managed to send a proposal for GSoC 2009. But it was not a success.
Anyhow this will be a good experinec for me to give a better effort next time.
I remembered the quote: "Failures are the pillars to Success".

But there was a good news for me. One of my batch mate among the very few who applied for GSoC, got selected to an Apache project. It was an inspiring newa for me to motivate my self towards GSoC, 2010.

What I learnt is: "Sincere comittement never fails"

"Try! Try! Try! One day you can fly!" a quote I used to see every where when I was a child.
