I am. I had just sent a message to Giuseppe to say so, before I noticed
that these responses were on the gnu.org list, rather than the mentors
list (I have them both going to the same directory). I'd also
temporarily forgotten that Giuseppe was a co-mentor, not the sole
mentor... ¬_¬ (I'm just used to interacting with him, because he's the
GNU wget maintainer, and I was the maintainer before him :) ).

Anyway: I've had the opportunity to go two or three times before, so I
should perhaps take lower priority than those who have not gone as
often. I'll assume Jordi (or someone else) takes priority, and will
submit myself to the waiting list instead.

(My travel expenses are likely to be low anyway, since I'll be driving -
just need the hotel room. So I suspect there's a fair chance Google may
grant me a spot when they start in on the waiting list.)
