Thanks a lot for the response. I'll give all of that a try and see how
far I can get.

I am going to be going to classes this summer semester but would
still like to contribute to the derby project.
I think typically students are working full time on Google Soc, but I
guess it is really up to you and how much you can handle. It is hard
for me to say without knowing your work. Are you a graduate student
or undergrad? Perhaps some of our past students can comment on
whether they think it is feasible to take classes at the same time. If
you don't want the pressure of a formal project and setting goals etc,
you can still contribute and just not participate in the program. To
get a feel for how you'll do, set up your build and test environment
and see how long it takes to get the tests running cleanly, then maybe
get started on converting a JUnit test or pickup a Newcomer issue.
If you can achieve these goals by March 31, (the application
deadline), I think you should be fine. See:

for tips on getting started.
