Yes, and it is also not advisable to work on two GSoC projects - we
all overestimate our capacities too easily.

As per http://www.boost.org/community/gsoc_2006_boost_overview.html
"Student selection: students willing to participate submit one or more
project proposals, typically expanding on some of the ideas previously
provided by the mentoring organizations. A student can apply several
times and for different organizations, but ultimately can only be
chosen for just one project"
