<div class="PlainText">Dear OSGeo community,<br>
<br>
Google Code-in is in on the way to half time of the young students contest and it can be called a success.<br>
<br>
Some general stats over all participating orgs [1]:<br>
<br>
* Total registered students: 6,146<br>
* Number of students who have completed at least one task: 1,573 (51% of those students have completed more than 3 tasks, earning them a GCI t-shirt)<br>
* Total number of tasks completed: 5,499<br>
* Most tasks completed by one student: 39<br>
<br>
Regarding OSGeo, our mentors are doing an amazing work to help young students to complete taks. A big thank you to our mentors!<br>
<br>
GCI tasks are create by these OSGeo projects and initiatives:<br>
<br>
FOSS4G, GeoServer, GeoTools, GRASS GIS, gvSIG, MapServer, OpenLayers, OSGeo, OSGeoLive, pgRouting, PostGIS, QGIS<br>
<br>
Are you interested in these tasks, have a look in [2].<br>
<br>
Also young students are very motivated to try completing OSGeo tasks:<br>
<br>
* 121 tasks are already done by students<br>
<br>
That's great: videos how to use/install OSGeo software, T-shirts for coding sprints, graphics for manual pages and many more.<br>
<br>
As an example [3]:<br>
<br>
* d.rgb: added figure to example, thanks to Jerry Huang and Google Code-in<br>
<br>
Stay tuned! And help young students when they're asking on the MLs. It's their first step to join our community.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Helmut (on behalf of the OSGeo GSoC/GCI admin team)<br>
