How do you plan to deal with any holidays or vacations mentors may have planned during the contest period?

In addition to these mentors, there will be plenty of help available to students as there are always Apertium developers hanging out on the Apertium IRC channel. For most of our mentors, hanging out on the Apertium IRC channel, hacking, and helping other developers hack is a lot of what we do in our free time, because we do it for fun. For those of us that work, the 'holidays' are really when we are most active in Apertium.

It is also worth noting that our mentors come from a diverse range of countries which have different holiday traditions (e.g. mentors in the US and England celebrate Christmas on the 25th December, while in Turkey Christmas is not celebrated and in Russia it is celebrated on the 7th January).
