 * How did you find about Google Summer of Code?
 * I have been active within my organisation (Wikimedia) for several years, during which time I frequently read about students participating in the programme on behalf of Wikimedia. Consequently, I have been aware of the programme for several years now, though I was too young to take part.


 * Is this your first time applying to participate in Google Summer of Code?
 * Yes.


 * How many years have you participated in Google Summer of Code? (Total - this doesn’t have to be consecutive.)
 * This is my first year


 * If you answered “2-3 years” or “More than three years” in the above question, what years have you participated?
 * N/A


 * At what point did you *first* make contact with your mentor for the program this year?
 * Before the program was announced


 * How often do you and your mentor interact?
 * Weekly


 * How much time do you spend on Google Summer of Code per week? (Coding time plus meeting with your mentor and/or organization and time spent planning.):
 * 20-25 hours


 * Please rate the quality of interactions and communications with your mentor. (Consider your communications with him/her as well as his/her responses.)
 * Good


 * How would you describe the quality of work you’ve produced thus far?
 * Meets my personal expectations


 * How responsive is your mentor to you when you have questions or send communications?
 * Very responsive (average of 24 hours or less before response)


 * Give one example of a very good or very bad interaction you had with your mentor.
 * It was great to be able to see my mentor face to face during a conference in Berlin in early June, both as an effective way of receiving feedback and also as a way of boosting the relationship.


 * What one thing do you think you could do to improve the quality of your interactions with your mentor?
 * During the early period of the programme, my access to IRC was very limited; recently, however, it has got much better more recently and I hope to have far more "short" interactions with my mentor, allowing individual issues to be addressed at the time they come up rather than being lumped together into a single "long" interaction.


 * Would you want to work with this mentor again (in any capacity)?
 * Yes


 * If you chose "no" above, could you tell us more about why?
 * N/A


 * Would you want to work with this organization again (in any capacity)?

 * What do you consider the best aspect of participating in Google Summer of Code?
 * The best aspect of participating in Google Summer of Code for me is that I can finally devote significant amounts of time to software development, which has for a long time been relegated to the role of hobby.


 * What do you consider the most challenging aspect of participating in Google Summer of Code?
 * The most challenging aspect of participating in Google Summer of Code for me is that for the first time, I'm developing to a timetable – with a deadline. That said, I feel I've risen to that challenge well.


 * Would you apply for Google Summer of Code in an upcoming year?
 * I’m not sure


 * Anything else you’d like to tell us or suggestions on how we could improve the program?
