I've heard a few classmates at school talking about the GSOC and I'm very interested in it. I've never worked on a big team project, though and I'm always feeling under-qualified when it comes to looking for jobs or projects.
What is expected from students participating in this? I know C++, java and PHP. I can create very good PHP web applications and I know all aspects of OOP and data structures and I'm at the top of all of my programming classes. However, I still don't really know what's expected of a team project and my assignments are always console applications so I've never worked with user interfaces.
I've been wanting to start on some project from freshmeat.net but i really don't even know where to begin there, either. I love programming, I just wish I could find a place to get started. I assumed college would teach me everything I needed to know :/
