I don't know if I have the status to help but the will is there.

I wondering if any IPMC members could indicate if they have any capacity/free cycles and a willingness for mentoring projects. It looks like we are going to have a number of inactive mentors step down in the near future and we may end up with some podlings only having one or two mentors. Three mentors seems to the the number that works best. Of course I understand it may have to be the right sort of project, but I’m just trying the gauge the current mentor capacity of the incubator, so if you think you could be a mentor if the right project came along then please indicate it here. For IPMC members who are unable to be a mentor I’m curious to know what the reasons are, I’m sure that “not having the time" is probably the number one reason, but are is there any thing else stopping member (in particular first time ones) from coming forward and volunteering? The mentor capacity we have may in the future have an impact on if and how often we accept new podlings. I'd hate to turn away podlings, but if we can’t effectively mentor them I’m not sure what else we can do. anyone have any ideas? For myself currently I could only realistically mentor one more project.
