*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 working a contractor for OLPC for the next few months. However, I think I can commit around 4-5 hours per week for the work.
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
Wrote the Imageviewer activity, maintainer of Terminal, in the process of implementing largish features to Read. Familiar with GTK+, Python, Gstreamer, etc.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
I was a mentor during SoC 2008 for the Translate toolkit project (my student worked successfully on enhancing the Pootle featureset). I have also experience informally mentoring/guiding students and volunteers for a number of Free Software projects (mostly i18n/l10n related).
*Anything else you think is relevant.
I was a successful student participant in Summer of Code 2007 under Federico Mena-Quintero for the GNOME project. I also helped in the rating of applications for OLPC as a mentoring organisation during 2008's SoC.
