JBoss has been selected (along with the Fedora Project) as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code.  I've thrown up some ideas on the JBoss idea page.

But don't feel limited to just those.  Ultimatley, you, the fantastic, enthusiastic, and intelligent student will write your own proposal to Google.  Feel free to color outside the lines and come up with even better ideas for any of the JBoss projects.

If you've got something great, we'll find you a mentor.

Anyhow, if you'd rather hack code than work a "real job" this summer break, start thinking about what you can do with JBoss.

Both the JBoss-Rails and JBoss-Cloud projects look forward to working with some young whipper-snappers this summer.
