[soc-dev] The Eclipse Foundation has been accepted as a mentoring organi

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you want to sign up to be a mentor, please send me an email me (or 
emo@xxxxxxxxxxx) so that I can invite you (limitation of the system).

You will only be accepted as a mentor if you are a committer on an open 
source project hosted by the Eclipse Foundation, or if the existing 
mentors otherwise vouch for you.

By registering as a mentor, you will be granted the ability to review 
and comment; and help us rate student project proposals. You will 
further get the opportunity to volunteer to actually mentor students. 
Signing up as a mentor at this point is really only about potentially 
mentoring: you are not commiting to any mentoring assignment. The only 
way that you can be assigned to actually mentor a project is if you 
volunteer to help a specific student with a specific project.

Students: the application process opens on March 20 [1]. If you're 
thinking of applying, now is the right time to start exploring our 
project ideas page [2] or otherwise start hunting down ideas. Note that 
project proposals that align with an Eclipse open source project's plan 
(i.e. look at the open issues) have the greatest chance of being accepted.

Thanks,

Wayne
