Boilerplate text to reply to unknown mentors:
Thank you a lot for being available as a GCI mentor! OSGeo mentors need to be able to guide students; hence mentors need to be experienced OSGeo contributors and need to know the community and "how things work". Could you please share some information of which specific OSGeo projects you have contributed to and worked on so far? How would you describe your areas of expertise within OSGeo? Are there any public OSGeo contributions you could link to (for example your OSGeo wiki page or your Github activity)? Are you involved in your local OSGeo chapter? This would help us to get a better idea. Thank you! And if you have not contributed to OSGeo yet, we encourage you to start contributing to OSGeo by checking out https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/ ! Thank you!
