As far as I can read it, the requirements are $6,500 and a commitment to
mentor (and they want a promise of 5 hours per week).

The Wine project has that much (although not a lot more), and I know a
guy at CodeWeavers who could help with funding.

The other piece we would need is someone willing to sign us up and to
create a landing page for this.

Do we have someone willing to volunteer to sign us up and someone
willing to mentor?

And the deadline is tomorrow :-/.

Cheers,
