Systers Summer of Code is very fortunate to have an extremely talented pool of mentors this year. While mentors are associated with certain projects, in the spirit of community developed projects we expect lots of cross-project collaboration.

Jason Cox
Project: Release Management
Quick Bio: I am a Software Engineer and a long time Open Source user that is loving becoming a contributer. I started helping Systers-dev, because I am engaged to a syster that mentioned the group needed help with testing. I had already considered contributing, because on a Portland trip my fiance introduced me to Jen and Andy, and we discussed the Mailman project. In my spare time I love to camp, hike, and cook.
