Welcome Jørn!

I'm a mentor of the Audio spin. This GSoC project idea also came a 
little late to the party but it's an obvious hole that needs filling. 
I'm sure the discussions will soon start heating up once we try and nail 
things down.

I've only just posted my mentor blog myself, but you'll find some useful 
links there I hope http://brendanonet.com/gsoc/

I'm making a point of lurking around #fedora-audio, at least close to 
deadlines like these, if you have any questions.

Look forward to reviewing your application.
