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