Thanks Oliver :-) here are the final results!
https://twitter.com/openWISP/status/1073267406779400193 https://www.facebook.com/OpenWISP/posts/1855618721213861 Out of 3123 students in the entire Google Code-In program, we mentored 950 who completed at least 1 task with us, that's 30.48%! I didn't think we would have been able to mentor so many students. Think about the impact we can have as a community if we find and train more mentors! I believe this is really important because fresh lymph and fresh views are needed to bring innovation in the open source networking world if we want to achieve it in a bottom-up fashion, so that's why I put so much effort in this program and I am very satisfied and happy of the results we have achieved. We also collected a lot of useful feedback that will help us to improve further, I will set some time aside to publish the results of that survey in the following weeks. Thanks again to everyone who participated actively!
