Re: Subject: INTRODUCTION, GSoC Aspirant – Interes ted in Apache Commons Lang

Hi Vinayak,

Welcome to the Apache Commons Lang community! I'm Ivan Šarić, and I'm also
a new contributor here.

Thank you for bringing up Google Summer of Code. I am interested in both
participating and potentially mentoring this year.
I believe I have enough work experience to help others in their goals.

I look forward to collaborating with you.

Best regards,
Ivan
