Hi all, [I'm making a new thread instead of forward posting from [email protected]]
"Google Code-in, Google's contest to introduce pre-university students to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software development possible, is starting on November 22, 2010." Rudy, are you still interested in this? I could be tempted into doing it, but I fear that Debian is not particularly adapted to that structure of the contest. We could take RC bugs as individual task but right now, in the middle of a freeze, RC bugs are really not trivial anymore. There are also opportunities in translation (bubulle?) that might be of interest and some other things (full list below). What I am not sure of is whether we'll be able to come up with a huge list of tasks considering the trouble we have each year to come up with GSoC ideas, but I'm willing to try. Cheers Arthur Full list of task areas: 1. Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code 2. Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents 3. Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing 4. Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality 5. Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions 6. Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more 7. Translation: Tasks related to localization 8. User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carol Smith <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 5:10 PM Subject: Invitation: Apply to be a Mentoring Organization for GCI To: Google Summer of Code Mentors List <[email protected]> Hi everyone, Starting today we are accepting applications from organizations who have participated in a previous Google Summer of Code (you!) to get involved with our contest for 13-18 year olds, Google Code-in [0].
