Hi Daniel,
I would like to be a co-mentor for the upcoming Outreachy round for projects on FREE RTC, Java, Android under Debian or other organizations.
Being an Outreachy Intern, I cherish having 3 mentors from different background and experiences who promptly guided me throughout. Now, I want to help other people get involved by mentoring.
I fulfill the time requirements mentioned here [1].

Hi everybody,
Is anybody interested in mentoring in Outreachy from December to February?
I already advertised[1] some projects through Debian but it would also be possible to do RTC projects under the umbrella of other organizations like Mozilla or Fedora if you prefer. Of the projects I listed, I will only be able to mentor one of them personally.
The Outreachy application process (up to October 23) is also a good time for candidates to prepare for GSoC 2018, most of what they do in an Outreachy application can be re-used for a GSoC application.
We had great success with 13 RTC projects mentored[2] under Debian in GSoC 2016 and if anybody would like to see this repeated again in 2018, now is the time to start getting involved.
Mentors are usually the biggest constraint on these projects: there is usually more than 1 good candidate for each project and it is usually possible to get funding but without mentors, projects don't go ahead.
Regards,
Daniel
