I found Apache Tuscany and Apache Tuscany CORBA support project matches my personal interests. Standing in front of choice of master's thesis subject I decided to get into SOA and related technologies. Joining project is great opportunity to direct personal development which can be combined with fulfilling university responsibilities. Participation in GSoC is also chance to get into community and experience work on an open source project. But most of all what I expect is pure fun doing things I'm really interested in.
