<div dir="ltr">Hi Pere, Brendan,<div><br></div><div>I'm afraid I'm still not in a position to be able to mentor for GCI. If someone does have time, I would have to say that being a GCI mentor was something I found quite fun in the past, but it was more time-intensive than mentoring for GSoC. The challenge for the mentor is keeping up with the rapid response times needed to stay on top of these "homework"-scale tasks. You really need to sign in a few times a day to stay current.</div>

I've been filling the task ideas page, just tuxpaint and tuxcoding tasks<br>
for now, still lacks a couple of Outreach/Research tasks, but if there<br>
are no more people to mentor I would not submit the application.<br>
