A number of amazing projects have applied to join the foundation - please volunteer and offer them a warm welcome. The incubation committee is a relaxed supportive environment with meetings every second month. Being a mentor is not a stressful volunteer activity (as your are simply acting as a point of contact and a guest on the project email list) and it is a great way to get involved in the foundation.
