Re: Google Code-In: interested?

[Alex Hornung <ahornung@xxxxxxxxx>]

I will probably have some time to mentor, but it might be less time than
I spent last year.

Overall I think Google Code-In is a great way of getting those smaller
tasks done that we just "can't be bothered with" - and the students get
some nice experience with OS development.

Kind Regards,
Alex
