Hi everyone, We’re pleased to announce that we are planning to run the Google Code-in contest again this November. We had a successful contest last year with 20 mentoring organizations and 361 participating students. We will again be giving 13-17 year old students around the world an opportunity to get involved with open source projects doing tasks ranging from documentation to outreach to coding programs. We’re looking forward to a fun contest this year and hope you’ll consider participating as a mentor and/or org admin yourself, and spreading the word to friends, family, and colleagues about the program. Please check out the timeline [0] for more details on the program. We will soon be accepting applications for open source organizations to become mentoring organizations for this year’s contest. There will be a separate email thread to this list inviting you to apply to be a mentoring organization on Monday, 17 October. Please take some time to discuss with your respective organizations about whether you feel you have the time and mentor capacity to participate this year. We won’t kid you: working with teengers can be demanding. It’s important that your mentors/org be prepared to put the time in over the holiday, but if you participate you will all have the satisfaction of sharing your project and your passion for open source with a truly amazing collection of young people, and getting them started in our community. We've put together an Information Page [1] for this year's program to give you some lessons learned from last year's program. *Please* look this over before deciding to apply to participate in the program. We encourage you to join the Google Code-in contest discussion list [2] and announcement list [3]. Please see our blog post [4] for further details and contact us directly if you have specific questions that aren’t answered in the FAQs [5].
