Hi John, I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation, ApacheCon was a great
forum.

All mentors are currently active, and right now the way in which Edgent
most needs mentorship is in its outreach to developers. From a technical
perspective, I think Edgent is mature for its age and number of committers,
but to date we've only seen a few users actually adopt it in an
application. This is strange, given the amount of initial interest, but I
sense this is in part due the the name change from Quarks to Edgent.

Since Kathey is likely stepping down soon, you would be the 4th mentor (not
the there's any hard limit, as far as I'm aware). Given your experience
with podlings I think you would fit the role well. Any thoughts on the
outreach problem?

-Will
