We need mentors for the Google Summer of Code! We've had some volunteers, more would be better. As a mentor, first off, you will be reviewing the submitted projects, ranking them, and ultimately choosing which ones get funded. Then if you have a student project assigned to you, you will help them complete the project by answering questions, offering advice, etc.
You do not need to be a core developer to be a mentor, you just need to have a specific expertise in Pd things. You get to directly help students scratch "itches" that have been bugging you for a long time. Especially if they're itches that are really fun or would have a powerful impact. Plus you get that tasty feeling from helping out someone else. You will be directly involved in fostering the next generation of Pd developers.
What I need now are Gmail email accounts from anyone who might want to be a mentor. (It's google, so it MUST be a gmail account )
Please email them to me at: hans AT eds DOT org
