Last minute GSoC proposal with Roks - anyone interested in mentoring?

[Valorie Zimmerman]

It's been a few days. Is anyone willing to step up to mentor this student?
Tomaz cannot mentor two students, but he's willing to co-mentor. Without
another mentor, we must turn this one down, rather than over-burden and
possibly burn out Tomaz.

If you are interested in mentoring but have not yet been invited to the
app, please write KDE-Soc-Management at kde.org and tell us what
google-connected email address you want us in use. Also, subscribe to
KDE-Soc-Mentor mail list:
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-soc-mentor.
