No problem... :-)

We don't get a huge amount of feedback on how many projects they'll
assign to us in the end. BUT... from talking to the folks at Google
last year, the more mentors and the better the projects that we can
find to match those mentors, the better. Diversity is good IMHO, and
if we get enough projects allocated to us you may get several.
