I am interested in participating in the GSoC this year. I have a project in mind (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2011_Ideas#Beautiful_one-click-install) which would be "right up my alley;" namely, Qt, openSUSE and packaging semantics are my interests, and I am a big Qt enthusiast. However, I have a full-time framing construction job. My job schedule is unpredictable; I could have a straight month of work, and then several weeks off in between the next job. Each job takes ~5 weeks. In my upcoming job, I will be working 60 minutes away, coming home every night and working Monday through Saturday. If I utilized 30-60 minutes a night on the project and every Sunday, 2 hours a day while traveling, I could pull off 30-35 hours a week. In the next job (starting about May 9th), we will be working 2 1/2 hours away, staying in hotels over the week and taking Friday-Sunday off. Meaning that I could pull 42-53 hours a week. Although I am perfectly capable of spending ALL my spare time on programming/research (I have done it before), I am not going to pretend that ALL of the time I have mentioned will be free for the project; I do have to take care of myself! I have discussed this (briefly) on GSoC's IRC channel, and they said, "No way, Hose!" I never mentioned how much time I would be able to devote... What is your input?
