[OSGeo-Discuss] Call for mentors and tasks for Google Code-in

[Jeff McKenna]

Update:  thank you to the 16 volunteer mentors for the Code-in, creating 
tasks for several OSGeo projects, such as: GRASS GIS, QGIS, pgRouting, 
PostGIS, GeoServer, MapServer, OpenLayers, and also tasks for the OSGeo 
foundation, and the FOSS4G event.

We can keep adding tasks right up until the students begin to claim 
tasks, on 28 November, so if you want to join the fun and help young 
students discover the FOSS4G passion:

Step 1) fill out the small Google form at the top of 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2017_Mentors

Step 2) add your tasks or your name to existing tasks at 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2017_Tasks

Wouldn't it be great to have all 38 OSGeo projects and initiatives 
active in the Code-in?  Yes, it can happen ha!

thanks everyone,

-Google Code-in admins, 2017/2018
