I would just like to share that I have applied for the Google Summer of Code, for the Roller project. I choose to apply for Roller because Java is the programming language I feel most comfortable with, and Roller is a feature rich piece of software frequently used, I was surprised when I found out Sun was using it for their blog. The subject I have written an application for is roller-social, I don't know why exactly but somehow it immediately attracted my interest when I scrolled over it.
The reason why I am applying for the GSoC in general is because I want to gain more experience programming in the open source world. You can read my application on the Apache wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/general/SoC2009/FlorisErich-Roller-SocialProposal I am looking forward to reading feedback regarding my application.
