I did mentor Hemant Goyal on sugar speech synthesis.
http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=User:Hemant_goyal We did quite ok
during the program. I would probably set stricter schedule in terms of
wrapping up the status and milestones. But apart from that I was quite
heppy what we achieved and I think Hemant was as well, I think.

About the slots I can not say much, I only did fill out forms for the 
assessment.
