that would be really great. Actually you would be my first choice as a 
mentor, because you were the person I was working with the most last 
year (and who in fact gave me the most support). I could just have asked 
you directly, but I didn't want to push you :)
So, I would be very glad If you were willing to do it. And maybe we also 
find some co-mentor (btw I'm sure they'll have some nice shirts again 
this year ;) ...
Cheers,
Janus
