Google selected the combined Fedora+JBoss.org group as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2008.

The JBoss guys have started gathering project ideas. If you're hoping to participate in the GSoC, take a look, and maybe you'll see something that'll inspire you.

If you're a student, the GSoC is a great way to spend your summer and get some bonafide open-source work under your belt. While being paid. Plus, you'll get to work with top-shelf Java developers like Manik Surtani, Ales Justin and Tim Fox, amongst others.

So, get thinking about your projects, because the student application window is about to open.
