Google Code-In for GNOME: We Need Tasks! (Reminder)
Reminder if you have ideas for GSoC to file them today as application deadline for organizations is October 29 at 23:00 UTC. So far GNOME has one proposal thanks to jhs (compared to e.g. KDE with 35 proposals). If the interest remains that low I don't plan to run this for GNOME or apply. andre Forwarded Message From: Andre Klapper ak...@gmx.net To: desktop-devel-list desktop-devel-l...@gnome.org CC: GNOME Documentation gnome-doc-l...@gnome.org, Gnome Usability usabil...@gnome.org, marketing-list marketing-list@gnome.org, gnome-accessibility-l...@gnome.org, GNOME i18n gnome-i...@gnome.org Subject: Google Code-In for GNOME: We Need Tasks! Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 16:27:48 +0200 [Please strip the CC list in case of category specific answers!] Hi, some might remember Google's GHOP contest in 2007/08. This year it will take place under the name Google Code-In (GCI) from November 2010 to January 2011. GCI is a small sibling of Google Summer of Code for highschool students (13-18yrs) and with much smaller tasks in several fields (like docu, code, translation, etc). The average amount of time to be spent for a task should be about three days. For more info please see http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn If you have an idea about a possible task, want to guide a student to fulfil it and perhaps also want to get new contributors for your project/area, please read http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/HowToWriteAGoodTask and propose your tasks at *** http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/Tasks *** For an idea of tasks that were available in 2007 see http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-gnome/issues/list?can=1q=sort=id Also some old (unused) tasks from 2009 are available at http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/OldTasks . Mentors are encouraged to update them and move them to the Tasks wikipage if they are still applicable/available. (Google will announce the participating organizations after application closing on Fri, 29th of October. Afterwards tasks will likely be moved to Google's issue tracker.)

I'm going to put in a couple of Tomboy and Banshee tasks tomorrow, so while I don't have time right now due to UDS responsibilites, there WILL be some good code refactoring/docs tasks for Banshee and Tomboy. -- -- Alex Launi -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Re: Google Code-In for GNOME: We Need Tasks!
thanks a lot andre for organizing this! to all others: i really encourage you to prepare some nice tasks for your project, as it can only result in a win-win situation: you get a task done and maybe a new contributor, and the student has a possibility to gain a lot of expertise. so, what are you waiting for? daniel On Thu, 2010-10-21 at 16:27 +0200, Andre Klapper wrote: [Please strip the CC list in case of category specific answers!] Hi, some might remember Google's GHOP contest in 2007/08.
