Congrats! Last year I really enjoyed mentoring. :) Now I hope that we
will be accepted as a mentoring organization (We should get that info on

It will make the proposal so much better, and in the end mentoring the

Last year this SoC list was pretty much dead, I hope that this year we
can keep it active enough that people pay attention to what happens
here. So the more the merrier. :)
