We are in the mentor matching cycle for the 52 PreSEED participants.
I sent out the first mentor request emails on 5 May; I have 36
match confirmations so far this morning (69% done in the first 2 weeks).
This matching cycle is a little slower than usual because of
JavaOne happening during the first week. Not only were people too
busy to reply, some of them also had travel days when they were out of touch.
Normally, I would expect the term to be about 75% to 80% matched by now.
All of the unmatched participants are being considered by potential mentors and I
plan to finish all of the matches within the next month.
