== A: An introduction ==
* Please describe yourself in three sentences, one of them regarding your current studies.


My name is Vasilis Goumas and I am 18 years old.Currently, I am studying Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Technical University of Athens,with an
inclination towards programming,mathematics and computer science.I have a proficient knowledge of English and German and of course, Greek.I am an avid music listener and enjoy watching movies.
* Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
By participating in the Google Summer of Code, I hope to touch up my programming skills as well as my mathematical knowledge on the field of Arithmetic Analysis.I have had no previous experience        with Google Summer of Code before,but thats going to change!
* Why are you choosing Octave?
My reasons for choosing Octave is that I love mathematics and I would be very glad to have the chance to implement relevant features and aiding the development of an open-source mathematical toolkit.
== C: Contact ==
* Please state the (unique and identical where possible) nick you use on IRC and any other communication channel related to Octave. ''We really want unique nicks. You might want to bold it.''
* Which time zone do you live in? Will that change over GSoC duration? ''Perhaps DST adjustment or a relocation. Note that both UTC and GMT are not aware of daylight saving time! Please state UTC+x or -x.''
* Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers? ''Example: I usually code around 9.00 to 18.00 and could also try to start earlier (~7.00) for few days ;-)''
== E: Coding experience ==
This part is one of the more important ones in your application. You are allowed to be as verbose as you want, as long as you stay on topic ;-)
* Please describe your experience with C++, Octave or Matlab m-scripts, OpenGL and Qt.
* Please describe your experience with other programming languages.
* Please describe your experience with being in a development team. ''Do you have experience working with open source or free projects?''
* Please describe the biggest project you have written code for and what you learned by doing so. Also describe your role in that project over time.
* Please state the commits and patches you already contributed to Octave. ''This question (one of the most important parts by the way) is the only part of your application our wiki admins will edit for you even after the application deadline. Code sometimes speaks louder than many words do.''
== F: Feeling fine ==
* Please describe (in short) your experience with the following tools: ''We only use this question to determine where you need guidance, not for rating!  We by no means expect you to be familiar with all of these and you'll won't necessarily need them while working with us.''
** IRC and mailing lists
** Mercurial or other source code management systems
** Mediawiki or other wiki software
** make, gcc, gdb or other development tools
* What will make you actively stay in our community after this GSoC is over? ''You can also tell us after applications close and we'll happily try to fulfill :-)''
