Hi all,
A little note to the whole OSGeo community that the Google Code-in
contest begins tomorrow at 17:00 UTC. Please keep in mind that a
possible 1400+ students, aged 13-17 and from 500+ schools across the
world can be diving into the OSGeo community, and asking questions on
your project's email list, IRC/gitter/slack channels. Please be extra
kind to questions over the next 2 months (until 17 January).
I also want to take the time to thank those volunteers for mentoring the
students, and who have created short tasks (that take 3-5 hours to be
completed over 5 days) for OSGeo projects & initiatives, so that young
students from all over the world get exposed to the OSGeo family's
passion for sharing :)
