Andres, you've done a great job, and there's no question that you should be the mentor. Can you make some time on Sunday afternoon or night to talk? Or does someone else have an idea for how someone can talk to Andres after our Saturday meeting and before 1900 UTC monday? Also, after, you're right, we definitely have to have a get-together, involving more beer than source.

My schedule changed a couple of months ago and it's very difficult for me to be home before 15 UTC. I cannot be there on Saturday, I have a previous arrangement I cannot postpone. Are you available on any other day after 15 UTC to meet with me? I can make a hole anytime but Saturday :(. I've been in contact with Vamsi almost daily for a long time, sometimes debugging his code for over 4 hours straight. But if you (or him) feel he needs more attention let me know and I'll be glad to step aside. I feel we need to start thinking about an IRC party (beer-drinking mandatory) after GSoC, to congratulate all of you and the students for the time put into this. And, why not, to blow off some of the steam built up with deadlines, evaluations, reviews and whatnot :). <div class="im"> > All people directly addressed in this email, please respond to let me (all > of us) know whether you can make it on Saturday or not. > > Cheers, > Jameson </div>-- -Andrés </blockquote></div>
