23 PreSEED Mentor Matches Confirmed

We are in the mentor matching cycle for the 52 PreSEED participants. I sent out the first mentor request emails on 5 May and I have 23 match confirmations so far this morning (44% done in the first 8 days). Last week was the 2nd OpenSolaris Developer Summit on the University of California at Santa Cruz campus, plus the CommunityOne event and JavaOne at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, so many potential mentors were too busy to reply. However, there has been a good response since then.

When the SEED program first started in 2001, it was limited to Sun Engineering staff working in the USA. Since then, the scope of the mentoring program has broadened. The current group of PreSEED mentors includes senior staff from: Bangalore, India; Dublin, Ireland; Grenoble, France; and Prague, Czech Republic; as well as those based in the USA.
