I guess it is all about meeting the GSoC goal, doing valuable contribution and becoming a long term contributor and not about working full-time or part-time. It is up to the organisation (yourself and other PA members) to accept / reject my proposal as you see fit but assuming I will not be selected even without trying did not look good from my perspective. So I am just giving a try. If a better person than me cannot be found / if a slot is available then I don't find any problem in selecting me even if I work part-time (the chances may be very less but I don't want to assume the chance to be 0 and just move on without giving a try). I will be happy with whatever decision is taken regarding my participation (after all some one else will do the work and I will be getting benefit out of it as an user). In short felt like giving a try is not going to hurt even if chances of my selection is less. Thanks and Regards, Prasanna Kumar
