Any of the mentors who have been active this year
As far as I know there was only one case of a mentor who pulled out
Should people who want to go send a private mail to the admins at
outreach@debian.org and then you make a random selection as in previous
years?
For those unfamiliar with the summit[1], the travel and accommodation is
fully funded by Google for 2 of the mentors. You can also take a
spouse/partner (who pays for their own flights) and/or stay additional
nights in California at your own expense to do sight-seeing or whatever
else.
The summit itself is a weekend, Friday, October 28 - Sunday, October 30.
I've been twice, once with Debian and once with Ganglia and it is highly
recommended. I'd be interested in going myself but only if none of the
new mentors wants to take one of the 2 places.

Daniel
