Hello,

Yes, I'd also like to volunteer as a co-mentor for Outreachy this year.

Although I won't have as much time available as I did during the summer,
now that the university semester has started, I believe I can still make
enough time to review and mentor.

I do have exams in October and January, but they shouldn't make me 
unavailable for a whole week, so I don't expect them to be a problem.

Regards,
Pablo
