Nice presentation.

I have couple of questions.

Shall we take the complexity of a GSOC project(independent of organization acca ASF..) as equals to 1/4 of CSE final year project(i.e It is group work minimum with 4 member)?

And In SL How the industry recognize g soc(vs GPA) ?

Ajanthan,
You are trying to reach GSoC with a *different* motivation.

yes, may be; but complexity depends on the project you choose and how are you going to do/complete it. You can just pass the program (as most of us..;)) or take it forward to the next level. So it is over to you.

Don't try to measure everything on GPA scale.. :)
