I am interested as every year, but I do not have much of time.

I could be a 1/2 mentor in uDig stuff and a full mentor if the
development is related to Spatial Toolbox and JGrasstools (since I am
quite active on those).

Yes, I am also in contact with one student, I am waiting for him to
reveal himself in the mailinglist. :)

That is btw the most important part, so thanks!

Well, I am not sure about that one. I agree it is a burden to
understand how things go with taxes and how to split with co-mentors.
Well, one year I got a coupon for a t-shirt, that was good enough to
me... but then they never did it again :) A couple a Osgeo t-shirts
would also work.

Cheers,
Andrea
