If there's no need to be physically there, I'm willing to mentor you, in case sacado is somehow disqualified or is otherwise unable to mentor you (I'll probably ask sacado to unofficially mentor my mentoring you, though, sort of a meta-mentor). Anyway I've just applied, although I'll gladly defer to sacado (it'll be mostly his code anyway) if he is able to mentor you.
Note that due to various circumstances, I won't be able to leave my country until about a year or so, so if my physical presence is needed, sorry!
