I'll think about it.  Right now, there's talk of rewriting some big
things at work this summer, and that will have to be my main priority.
I'll certainly be reviewing anything going into the Velocity codebase
and participating in design discussions as i'm able, but i'm not sure
i should commit much time beyond that and the occasional patch.  If
that alone counts for being a mentor, then i suppose i've no reason to
say no.  Committing even an hour a week for anything beyond that this
summer feels risky given the possibilities in the non-OSS part of my
job.

Or things may continue to be slow at work for a while and the rewrites
pushed back to fall.  I won't know for a few months which way they'll
go.

Any Velocity committers want to be a Google Summer of Code mentor?

This article has much more detail.

As far as I can tell, main responsibility is to offer feedback/advice
to a GSOC student about their summer project.  It's recommended this
be in public and on the dev list.  So it's probably stuff you'd be
doing anyway.  (except you get a free T-shirt).

It's recommended that every student have two mentors.  So if the
student application for the Velocity GSOC project gets accepted we'll
need one more.  (I've already signed up).  It probably makes sense to
sign up now rather than later.
