Hi folks, I'm going through our checklists in applying for the Season of 
Docs, and need at least 4 people to register as mentors if OSGeo is to 
be allocated 2 technical writers. (More mentors would appear to be better).

Could each of you who plan to volunteer as a mentor please register 
within the next week, by 23 April 2019.

Instructions are at:
