Although not an official mentor, I'll try to help out too. Nobody seems to use the #apache-ode channel on freenode. I'll hang out there as well (at least for a while) for a more interactive experience. I can be found on other channels on codehaus (#camel and #activemq for instance). Feel free to ping me with questions.
