Sorry for the confusion, I actually wanted to ask about the schedule that I have written in my proposal.

For example I have written that by 26th June I will finish the bitmap implementation. Although I'm sure

that it won't take more than 26 days but in case it takes more than that or less, then is it possible to tweak the schedule?

I do have linux installed alongside windows (dual boot). But I mostly use Linux for testing cross platform applications or writing code specific to Linux.

It's just that I have used Visual Studio since I started programming and I am most comfortable with it. But if it is necessary I will switch to Linux.

Yes, I use cmake.

Please don't mind about the timezone difference, and please keep your best timezone.
Both of your mentors (I and Alexei) are living in different timezone,
and even if you could follow my timezone, it does not guarantee the minimization of
the delay in the communication (the mentors are not full-time worker for FreeType).

Does your computer have sufficient storage to install "Windows Subsystem for
Linux" ?
There are many FreeType developers working with Unix-like systems, so having an
access
to some GNU/Linux system (no need to stick to WSL. some virtual machine, some
separated
machine etc would work) would be good.

BTW, if your daily development is Visual Studio, how do you build FreeType on
your system?
Do you use existing project file in the source tree? Or, do you use CMake?
