::Yes, I have known the Octave four years ago, at my university, in Brazil.
::Yes, I do noticed Octave when I use property Matlab in my school last year.
 
** '''What was the first question concerning Octave you could not find an answer to rather quickly?'''
::The build process. I do not know that I need run ./bootstrap first until I read etc/HACKING. Because I usually run autoregen and configure directly.

::I have a notebook with Ubuntu and Windows 7. Eventually can I use a MacBook of a lab at my university, to perform some tests (if necessary).
::Usually Linux. But I could work with Mac OSX and Windows if I need to test on variant platform.

::More than 40 hours per week.
::I understand the importance of dedication to the project, so I can guarantee that I will be absolutely free for GSoC and that I can accomplish much more than 40 hours per week.

:I can install any software on the computers mentioned!
:I have my own macbook. So I could install all softwares if I need.

:Criticisms are essential in group work, because people are able to share knowledge, and can bring improvements to the development process.

:I always do a search on the internet or in books in the great library at my university. If I'm not successful, I seek to talk to someone in the community, by email or IRC.

::I like to dicuss direction first and reinterpret in my words. Then ask others whether I understand well. And I would start to write small program to prove my concept. If the work doesn’t match the goal, I would thrown it away early rather then coding for thousands of code and hard to debug.
::I think it largely depends on the purpose of development, some jobs require more time for research and planning. However, I believe that in general the best way is to use a few days to talk intensely about the tasks and perform some working sketches, after that, I think it is interesting to encode some examples and keep adjusting them over time, I think it is more attractive for work as the GSOC!
