I can devote 40 - 50 hours per week and more if required. My graduation will end by the mid of May. I will be after that. I can spare ample time from my college timings for my project. My working hours for the internship will be flexible and subject to the requirements of the project. | ||

Till mid of May, I would be having my final exams. But after that I would be completely free to devote all my time to GSoC. So I will be comfortably able to manage to fulfill my tasks within the specified time. | Till mid of May, I would be having my final exams.

As I loved the very concept of open source development from the moment I learned about it, it would be a matter of honour for me to be a part of such a splendid crew. Also I have a firm belief that I will excel tremendously in my area of interest and nurture my skills by working ardently. GNU Octave being an paradigm of its field enticed me to work with it and learn manifold new things. | |||

Being highly assiduous and fervent for my work I would love to contribute to the open source development since it is like a holy grail to me. I had been into coding environment from quite a time and I wish to apply my whole coding-impetus to a point. I have joined the octave-maintainers@gnu.org mailing list and #octave channel on IRC a few days ago and I am feeling good to interact there and I have already got some valuable suggestions. This is the real blessing for the young saplings in the garden of programming to grow in the guidance of the sublime mentors. I am so much self-obliged and excited to work with dexterous developers across the globe and be a part of the legacy. | |||
