| + | |||
| + | We like to maintain constant communication with our students. You should expect to hang out in the [[http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#ipxe|#ipxe]] IRC channel pretty much all the time, and communicate at least once each working day. | ||

From the background of academia, this is understandable; in your degree course it's important to be able to show that you can work unaided. However, GSoC is not academic in nature. We **want** you to ask for help. If you don't need to ask questions, then it probably means that your project isn't sufficiently challenging. | ||
