On the other hand, reaching out to young developers so that they join our community is absolutely necessary for the survival of Apertium.At the university level, perhaps faculty members who are associated with Apertium and the (computational) linguistics department at their university could encourage independent research projects? Or incorporate Apertium into the syllabus of classes?
I don't have much of a suggestion for the high school level. But I know that there are growing contest linguistics communities, e.g. NACLO participants in the US feeding into the International Linguistics Olympiad. Some of these students might value an opportunity to explore their interest in linguistics in the real world and do something real (beyond the contest environment) through Apertium.

Samuel, thanks for the heads-up.

A replacement for Google Code-In, Apertium Code-In, would be hard to organize for an already quite overworked community. No matter how much we complained about Melange, Google provided invaluable support to run it which would be quite hard to duplicate. And most of the money we have left comes from Google Code-In donations (We have quite a lot of money which we could spend, BTW, around ~40 k€).

Any ideas?

It might also be good to focus more on the non-coding ways of contributing.

Hi,Google has cancelled Google Code-in. I was wondering if Apertium could start a replacement. Perhaps we could partner with some other FOSS organizations?
