Cameron,

Yes, that is correct. I have volunteered to mentor Rasdaman.

As this is my first attempt at mentoring, Jody offered to support me where required.

Bruce,
Good to see this positive trend. I think the other critieria which
Rasdaman needs is to have an incubation mentor, which you did volunteer
for. Does your offer still stand? If so, I suggest mentioning that as well.
