 I'm a few months behind on Sugar development, but think its a fabulous project.  Let me know what you need of me.

+*What kind of projects could/would you mentor?
+PyGTK-based activities, especially "social" activities.
+*How much time could you devote to mentoring? Can you make the especially solid commitment of being a double-mentor? What are your other commitments over the summer?
+I am helping a teacher group this (northern summer), that leaves me enough time to commit to this (at least 4-6 hours a week, more if needed). It also is a great chance for some user feedback.
+*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
+Community volunteer for 2 years now, developed activities, led workshops. Confident in python and GNU. Worked professionally in programming for some years.
+*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
+I assisted a GSoC 2007 student with a voting activity project back in Chile (STIRME Project). Learned from that experience the importance of constant contact with the Mentor.
+*Anything else you think is relevant.
+I informally went thru the student side of things with my good friend Ignacio in 2007. I consider that didn't do very well back then. So I have that precious learning experience, that I can commit to help the next student succeed.
