Hi John,

I am the writer of the Qucs proposal.

Due to a recent change in my work commitments it seems I simply won't be 
able to definitely commit the time required for being a mentor this year 
when GScC actually starts. This is unfortunate as I would really have 
liked to get this work done on the project.

If you can find someone else who could act as the main mentor I could 
act as backup, but I don't think anyone else will have the same interest 
in the project as me. Most of the time I am likely to be able to provide 
the level of support needed, but if things go wrong or there are 
problems I can no longer say I will definitely be available for help 
during the entire project.

Apologies for this,

Richard
