Hi Camelia,

- Who are the Mentors for this project?

We assign Mentors after we have received the final project proposals, that
way we can make sure that the most suitable mentors will be assigned to the
student. Usually we have mentor teams of two mentors per project and we
have weekly skype calls throughout the duration of the project to make sure
the project stays on track.

That depends upon your interest. There are a number of possible candidates
for this, e.g. the structure alignment package. It does not have to be
Hadoop, it can be also one of several other available solutions, like
Hazelcast, etc. The details of this can be part of the proposal.
