Dear Community,<br>
<br>
great news! Google Code-in has just been officially announced [1] and<br>
we are excited to apply for the first time as mentoring organization!<br>
Google Code In is a program addressed to students aged 13 to 17.<br>
<br>
As always, we need your help! We need mentors.<br>
Mentors for Google code in are not necessarily top developers (they<br>
are also needed, but not only). Also educators, advocates, researchers<br>
are much needed, people that normally take care of documentation and<br>
preparation of educational material, that give presentations, take<br>
care of web site or wiki etc.<br>
<br>
In fact, the tasks for google code in are supposed to take 3 to 5<br>
hours for students to complete, and entail:<br>
* coding<br>
* documentation / training<br>
* outreach / research<br>
* quality assurance<br>
* user interface<br>
<br>
See examples here [2].<br>
<br>
The idea is to individuate suitable tasks and submit them in the bug<br>
tracker with a special keyword like "beginner" or something TBD. In<br>
this way, students can easily find and claim the task they're<br>
interested in.<br>
<br>
Note that the whole "how to" is to be discussed yet, for the moment,<br>
let's try to create a critical mass of interested volunteers.<br>
<br>
Here [3] I created a wiki page with relevant info, instructions,<br>
timeline etc. Kindly take a look and if you are willing to<br>
participate, please write an email to gsoc-admin AT <a href="http://osgeo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">osgeo.org</a>, we will<br>
send you a form to fill with your data. Next step: in less than one<br>
week from now we'll have the first kickoff meeting on IRC in the<br>
channel #osgeo-gsoc at Freenode. Everyone that will have filled the<br>
form will be informed about exact date and time.<br>
<br>
Please, do participate, and bring your questions, your ideas and your<br>
energy with you. We don't have all the answers, but will try to figure<br>
things out together.. We believe that engaging the young generation<br>
will bring in OSGeo a breeze of innovation and fresh energy. Don't<br>
miss the opportunity to be part of the change!<br>
<br>
Cheers!!<br>
