If you have appropriate skills and would like to volunteer to be a Summer of Code mentor, please sign up as a mentor in the Google interface (Google account required) and then add your name and skill set here.

If you and your talents are well-known in the core Mozilla development community, signing up here is probably not necessary - just do the Google step. This page is just so when we see names in the Google mentors interface and go "Huh?", we can read it to find out who you are :-)
