Thanks Helli!
For others: we are at exactly 36% through the contest (a nice
'unofficial' page to follow for stats is http://gci-leaders.netlify.com/).
I wish all of OSGeo could see the activity and enthusiasm of these kids
for OSGeo, it is really something, and gives the whole community a blast
of fun! :)
GCI will truly will be a part of OSGeo every year from now on...

Dear OSGeo community,
Google Code-in is in on the way to half time of the young students contest and
it can be called a success.
Some general stats over all participating orgs [1]:
* Total registered students: 6,146
* Number of students who have completed at least one task: 1,573 (51% of those
students have completed more than 3 tasks, earning them a GCI t-shirt)
* Total number of tasks completed: 5,499
* Most tasks completed by one student: 39
Regarding OSGeo, our mentors are doing an amazing work to help young students
to complete taks. A big thank you to our mentors!
GCI tasks are create by these OSGeo projects and initiatives:
FOSS4G, GeoServer, GeoTools, GRASS GIS, gvSIG, MapServer, OpenLayers, OSGeo,
OSGeoLive, pgRouting, PostGIS, QGIS
Are you interested in these tasks, have a look in [2].
Also young students are very motivated to try completing OSGeo tasks:
* 121 tasks are already done by students
That's great: videos how to use/install OSGeo software, T-shirts for coding
sprints, graphics for manual pages and many more.
As an example [3]:
* d.rgb: added figure to example, thanks to Jerry Huang and Google Code-in
Stay tuned! And help young students when they're asking on the MLs. It's their
first step to join our community.
Kind regards
