OSGeo participated last year for the first time, where kids performed tasks from 11 OSGeo projects, completing 649 tasks in total over about a 6 week span. The tasks are short, only 3-5 hours long, and are not only about coding but can be documentation, testing, creating logos, videos, blogs, and fun things that kids like to do.<br>
<br>
Interested mentors are asked to fill in the short Google form at <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jDbLOiQpNbA4wldXo0N5cUDY6aDKkEIvouOL0osAyO0" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/<wbr>d/1jDbLOiQpNbA4wldXo0N5cUDY6aD<wbr>KkEIvouOL0osAyO0</a><br>
<br>
The contests starts 23 October and ends 12 December, but OSGeo's application is due this coming Monday, so we please if you're interested fill in that Google form right away (having mentors helps our chances to have the application accepted). You can see the full timeline of the contest at <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2018" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Go<wbr>ogle_Code_In_2018</a><br>
<br>
We'll also have a quick IRC meeting this Thursday, if you have questions etc, please come and ask. Time: <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2018&month=09&day=13&hour=16&min=0" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.timeanddate.com/wo<wbr>rldclock/fixedtime.html?year=<wbr>2018&month=09&day=13&hour=16&<wbr>min=0</a> In the IRC channel #osgeo-gsoc (connect directly in your browser through <a href="https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=osgeo-gsoc" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://webchat.freenode.net/?<wbr>channels=osgeo-gsoc</a> )<br>
<br>
Last year we had tasks from projects such as GRASS GIS, pgRouting, MapServer, GeoServer, OpenLayers, OSGeoLive, PostGIS, QGIS, FOSS4G, and gvSIG). Let's have more this year!!<br>
<br>
Please share this to all OSGeo projects (official/incubation/community<wbr>). thanks!<br>
