Heya guys, this is totally cool. We should figure out how to do mentorship. I am leading CC's GSoC participation, so want to make sure to coordinate how we could do this best. I see two ways forward: 1.) Jamie mentors (would have to apply to be mentor for CC) 2.) I mentor, and then Jason, or other successful candidate works with tracker and Jamie, and I provide mentorship and other guidance. What do you all think? Anyway, I'm up for easiest and best solution and definitely up for this support getting into tracker asap!
