As we talked about in the past. My timezone doesn’t line up for direct mentoring, but can certainly help out. I would recommend reaching out to @saucelabs on twitter as I think they are still pro open source. I’ll reach out to my friends that work on appium and see if they know anyone in emca that would be interested in helping out.
