Project schedule:
Communicate with community: I will do research as soon as possible and figure out how to do with community.
Make plan: Once I know how I can accomplish it, I will make a schedule.
Hard Working: As I get lots of time to code, I will code everyday as much as I can.
Adjust to changing circumstances: Nothing will always work as we think.
Exams and other commitments: I have a final exam at the end of July.
Other summer plans: None.
