Google Summer of Code

[Alex]

Hi Alex,

thank you for looking into it !

You already found the extensive google description on what a GSoC mentor
is about.

In short:  Communicate/help students to implement their GSoC proposals.
(Review code, test changes, help on questions)

Google expects mentors to spend 2-5 hours/week on that.

Most likely you will not need to do anything and me and Manjeet will do
the mentoring. (Though you can help on that as well if you like)

Just in case we cannot do so for some reason / for some time, it would
be great to have you as backup mentor.

I just sent you an invite, in case that would be fine for you.

Cheers & Thanks,

Alex(xcons)
