''To fill this in, copy the source text. Please '''don't''' rename the template.''

This is a suggestion for the kind of information we'll find useful from students in their submissions. Remember -- you're going to be committing to several months' work. The more information and planning you can provide up-front, the more we (and Google!) will have to go on when we're ranking your application. Do not forget adding your submission at [[SummerOfCode2013/StudentApplications]]

 * '''Exams and other commitments''': do you have university exams inside the SoC period? If so, that's most likely not a problem but please tell us early!
 * '''Other summer plans''': are you getting married? Do you have a long vacation planned? Are you expecting to start a job? '''Be aware''' that if you are accepted for the summer, then Google will be paying you as though you were working for them. We (in Debian) will therefore expect you to be working 35-40 hours per week on your project. It is very unlikely that you will be able to combine a successful SoC with another summer job working for somebody else.
 * '''Exams and other commitments''': Family do not plan ahead very well, but I am unlikely to be unavailable for more than a week in total.
 * '''Other summer plans''': None (other than the above).
Line 20: Line 16:
 * Are you applying for other projects in SoC? Note that letting us know about this '''does not''' impact your chances of acceptance or rejection with us; we ask this because it helps us to resolve deduplications wherein a student is accepted for multiple projects.  * '''Are you applying for other projects in SoC?''': No.
