<br>
Thanks for your interest. When you have had the time to confirm,<br>
please make a pull request to our GSoC 2019 Ideas, or if you can't do<br>
that let me know and I'll make one for you.<br>
<br>
We did change requirements for mentors, as you can see here;<br>

<br>
Our GSoC 2019 Ideas shows who have offered to be mentors. Sugar Labs<br>
will select mentors based on those offers and the student proposals<br>
received. It might be all of the mentors, it might be a few of them,<br>
we can't really know yet. Walter will be the most involved, but don't<br>
go trying to contact him directly, that's unfair on everyone else.<br>
<br>
Timeline for GSoC 2019 is here<br>
<a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline</a><br>
<br>
I don't know if there is a final date for mentors to apply, and I'm<br>
not sure if the question makes sense. As an organisation we agree to;<br>
<br>
* "Select and invite trusted, capable, and qualified mentors",<br>
<br>
* "Oversee activity of all mentors and students ensuring<br>
responsibilities are being met", and;<br>
<br>
* "Ensure adequate and appropriate mentoring coverage, particularly<br>
near holidays".<br>
<br>
<a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/responsibilities" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/responsibilities</a><br>
<br>
Given the timeline;<br>
<br>
* mentors _should_ get themselves listed by 26th February so that the<br>
ideas are well defined, and the mentors are visible when the<br>
mentoring organisations are published, and;<br>
<br>
* mentors _must_ get themselves listed or delisted before the 9th<br>
April student proposals deadline.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps!<br>
