Hello folks, we've finally worked out a glitch in getting me as one of the org admins for GCi. I was greeted by this message when logging in:
Welcome back Contest begins: November 28, 2016 You have 19 days to create your minimum of 75 tasks for the initial launch and invite and assign mentors to the tasks. So if you wish to mentor at any point in the contest, please ask now to be invited to the webapp so that you can add your task(s). You do not have to *publish* the task unless you are available to help students accomplish the task on November 28th. Remember to also subscribe to KDE-Soc-Mentor ML if you have not already done so. If you have subbed and confirmed your email (look in your spam if you don't see it), ping one of us on IRC or email if you don't get your 'you are subscribed' email. If you want to be an org admin, or have other organizational questions, talk to us about that in #kde-soc-admin or on the KDE-soc-management ML. ================================================ We are below the minimum required number of available tasks. ================================================ Start creating more tasks and publish ASAP. Remember to get a good spread across each of the 5 categories and ensure there are enough beginner tasks. Consult the website if you want more detail about tasks. Something to consider: creating a good, *simple* title for your task is the most important part to drawing good students to do it! Once we get into the swing of the contest, good students can be urged to create their own tasks, based on bugs they find, etc. We can create tasks such as Present the work you are doing for GCi to your school, create a short youtube presentation of application X, or new feature Y, run this test, *write* a test, create a docker setup for other students -- use your creativity, and remember that we can create new tasks as we go along, as well as re-using some tasks many times. Remember to use "they" or "them" when necessary, not "he" or "him". We want all students to feel welcome. I want all mentors to feel welcome as well, especially former GCi, SoK and GSoC students!
