It's been a few days. Is anyone willing to step up to mentor this student? Tomaz cannot mentor two students, but he's willing to co-mentor. Without another mentor, we must turn this one down, rather than over-burden and possibly burn out Tomaz.
If you are interested in mentoring but have not yet been invited to the app, please write [email protected] and tell us what google-connected email address you want us in use. Also, subscribe to KDE-Soc-Mentor mail list: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-soc-mentor.
