I would be interested in being a mentor, if not for Alexey then for next year's GSoC. I did quite a lot of BeOS programming, and have been gradually working with Haiku. Being a mentor would actually help me to learn Haiku in more depth - there is no better way to learn a subject thoroughly than to teach someone else about it. I did some SCSI CAM scanner drivers for the BeOS, and have quite a bit of experience with Mac OS X and embedded storage drivers. Overall I have twenty-two years experience as a coder.
