- Which time zone do you live in? Will that change over GSoC duration?
- Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers?
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 ;-)

O: Only out of interest
- Did you ever hear about Octave before?

Y: Your task
- Did you select a task from our list of proposals and ideas?
- If yes, what task did you choose? Please describe what part of it you especially want to focus on if you can already provide this information.
