So, AFAICS we have a few of this year's mentors who'd like to go:

 * Me (Europe)
 * Fabio Tranchitella (Europe)
 * Dirk Eddelbuettel, US (but may go with R) - any news there?
 * Daniel Burrows, US

We need to make a decision about who's going quite soon, so we can get
flights organised etc. Anybody else?
