*Name/contact
Sebastian Silva (sebastian at fuentelibre.org)
icarito on IRC
*Timezone
Lima, Perú (UTC-5)
*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.
