Our most important need right now is for quality mentors. If you (or someone you know) would make a good mentor, please nominate yourself (or them), both here on the ML and on the wiki (if you can't handle a little redundant paperwork, you're probably not a good candidate :). Include relevant information such as:

**I'll be working for Google in San Francisco this summer.
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
**I wrote a couple of physics simulation activities for OLPC last summer. I am a computer science major and have experience as a software developer. Resume: http://student.seas.gwu.edu/~alev742/resume.php

**I am a computer science tutor here at The George Washington University.
*What do you think your role as a mentor would involve? How would you fill it, and why? (3-5 sentences is plenty)
**I would be glad to provide any kind of support I can, from high level software design strategy to code reviews. I would like to focus on keeping the code not only functional but elegant, readable, and scalable - something that's very important as this platform moves forward.

*What kind of projects could/would you mentor? Telepathy related
*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?
** If possible I'd prefer co-mentoring so I would focus on the Telepathy part and a Sugar guy on the UI/integration one. I'll work this summer but my [http://www.collabora.co.uk/ employer] would probably let me allocate some time on mentoring if needed. I could maybe have another soc student on the GNOME front too.
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
** I hack on Telepathy as my job. Did lot of the Telepathy integration in Sugar.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
** Never mentored soc projects but regularly help people on #telepathy and #sugar.
*What do you think your role as a mentor would involve? How would you fill it, and why? (3-5 sentences is plenty)
** My main goal is to ensure than proposed projects are did the right way. I want to avoid that student did the code on his own without any input from relevant person and so is finally never merged because it was just the wrong approach.

*Timezone : GMT+5:45 (Nepal)
*What kind of projects could/would you mentor?
Using Web technologies to create Sugar activities, like [[Karma]]
*How much time could you devote to mentoring? Can you make the especially solid commitment of being a double-mentor?
I can probably only mentor one person. I think I can contribute 10 hours per week for 3 months.
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
For the past two years I have led a team of 10 full-time software developers creating open-source educational learning activities.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
I have mentored 12 Nepali interns at OLE Nepal over the last 12 months.
What do you think your role as a mentor would involve? How would you fill it, and why? (3-5 sentences is plenty)
There is a lot to creating learning activities that is not technical but procedure. I am particularly interested in making it easier for programmers to create learning activities.

*What kind of projects could/would you mentor?
Activities, and some Sugar UI-related projects (anything relevant to daily life in the classroom.)
*How much time could you devote to mentoring? Can you make the especially solid commitment of being a double-mentor?
Not sure what a "double mentor" is, but I could put in 10 hours/week...
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
I have been with the Sugar project since the beginning and have been making the occasional Sugar patch; I have written and maintain a half-dozen activities.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
I was a GSoC coordinator and mentor in 2009. I have supervised hundreds of MIT undergraduate research projects and 50+ graduate-level (MS&PhD) thesis projects.
*Anything else you think is relevant.
You learn through doing, so I will roll up my sleeves along side whomever I mentor, because I want to keep learning.

*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
:: I am the author of [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow rainbow]. I also am intimately familiar with Sugar's architecture, design, and code base.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
:: I analyze, critique, and improve software professionally, often working with less experienced coders. I also managed the release of a small operating system ([http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/8.2.0 OLPC's 8.2.0 OS release]) in which I helped to fold the work of many contributors, both new and old, into a successful and coherent software development experience.
*Anything else you think is relevant.
:: My entrée into professional software development, which I love, was an internship not unlike the ones you're applying for here.
