Possibly, I did not word my question correctly. I understand that all the contribution *during/for* GSoC is open source. My query was about the importance of 'previous' code being open source to prove competence.

Ah, yes, then I completely misunderstood your question.  My bad.  You don't need to provide previous code to demonstrate competence.  That's what makes a patch submission so valuable.  
It's optional, but a good patch demonstrates competence better than code you've worked on previously.  A few hours reading code and figuring out some minor feature or bug fix shows you know how to read code and can quickly make a minor change that improves the code.  So yeah, we don't want to see your proprietary code or class homework assignments. ;)

Cheers!
Sean
