Outreach programs/Possible mentors

This is the common list of mentors of Summer of Code 2013 and Outreach Program for Women Round #6. It will be reviewed in future programs

Mentors
We have a wide variety of technologies in use and no mentor can offer mentorship for just any project. We might be able to find other mentors specific to other areas if an interesting project idea shows up.

 * Sébastien Montoro: I'm offering to mentor Wikimedia Commons related projects. I'm also available for a more generic project for a student who comes from another language and would like to learn PHP / improve PHP skills.
 * Raylton P. Sousa: Interested in stuff relating to sister [non-wikipedia] projects (or maybe generic things like this and this).
 * Brian Wolff.: Particularly interested in any project where the student is a member of the relevant community the project is targeting, and the student came up with the project him/her-self to fix a problem that they are actually encountering.
 * Jeroen De Dauw: I'm involved with both Semantic MediaWiki and Wikidata and willing to mentor interesting projects related to either. I prefer to mentor students who already have a decent background with doing development work.
 * Siebrand Mazeland: Available for helping with the student selection process, available as a mentor if really needed. I'm not really a developer, but I have a little experience in working with them.
 * Yurik Astrakhan: Willing to mentor.
 * Tyler Romeo: I'm available to mentor the E:CSS, E:UploadWizard, the XML sitemaps extension, automatic category redirects, and/or E:OEmbed*. Which one I do I'll leave up to somebody who has a better idea of which projects WMF would prefer. Depending on the time commitment involved, I may be able to mentor more than one project.
 * Rusty Burchfield: willing to mentor.
 * MarkTraceur: I'd love to work with anyone on Parsoid, Extension:UploadWizard, Extension:EtherEditor, or any new extensions or modifications to existing ones. My favourite work is in JavaScript, but I'll also dabble in core modifications and PHP changes when necessary, and I've played with unit testing and our CI infrastructure at least a little.
 * Denny Vrandečić: Available to mentor or co-mentor Wikidata-related proposals. Have mentored GSoC previously.
 * Thomas PT: I'm available as co-mentor for Wikisource-related proposals. I won't be able to help in June and the begin of July but I'll be very pleased to help in August.
 * Yaron Koren: Semantic MediaWiki, Semantic Forms, and related extensions.
 * James Forrester: VisualEditor related projects.
 * Niklas Laxström: internationalization projects.
 * Santhosh Thottingal: internationalization projects.
 * Federico Leva: willing to co-mentor Tools for mass migration of legacy translated wiki content as Meta-Wiki community liasion.
 * Runa Bhattarcharjee: internationalization projects.
 * Alolita Sharma: internationalization projects.
 * Ariel Glenn: Wikimedia offline projects.
 * Matt Flaschen: Prototyping inline comments.
 * Rusty Burchfield: CSS extension projects.
