Hello Igor,

I'm a mentor for Amarok as well, and a member of the KDE GSoC admin
team. As suggested in KDE's GSoC ideas page, the best way to contact
mentors is through project mailing lists, in our case this is
amarok-devel at kde.org. Bart tends to be quite busy some days but he
does follow the mailing list. I suggest you prepare a draft of your
proposal, send it to the mailing list, and some Amarok team members
(possibly including Bart) will review it. You could also email him
privately I guess, but it is very common in Free Software projects to
keep technical questions and discussions public in mailing lists.

Don't worry about mentor assignments: those are done later on in the
process when student proposals are evaluated and selected. If your
proposal gets selected, you will get a mentor from the Amarok team but
in the meantime, the mailing list should be your main point of
contact.

Cheers,
