Google Summer of Code 2008, Call for Mentors

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Hi Marc,

I'd be willing to mentor someone who wants to work on Mac OSX or  
rootless related issues.  I'm currently a graduate student at UC  
Berkeley in Computer Science Education with an emphasis in New Media.   
I have about 8 years of teaching experience, but only about 3 months  
experience working on X11.  This X11 work has been restricted to OS-X  
issues (hence why I don't think I'd feel comfortable mentoring someone  
working outside of Xquartz because I don't know too much about that  
code).
