[opensuse-project] GSoC: Schedule Complications

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?
Thanks,
Bryan Henderson
