List any non-Summer-of-Code plans you have for the Summer

University Summer term until July 24th, so for the first ~8 weeks of the program I can realistically offer 20 hours/week. After that I'll be available full-time. I am currently working 20 hours/week for a small local software company, so I am used to managing my time. If I am accepted into the GSoC program I plan to take an unpaid leave from that job for the 12 weeks of programming.

, especially employment, if you are applying for internships, and class-taking. Be specific about schedules and time commitments. we would like to be sure you have at least 30 free hours a week to develop for our project.
