Hello all: The GCI program is back again, last year I think it was a success with the videos the students made of Marble and QGIS using the quickstarts of OSGeoLive. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUl3dg0_QZl1mL9cTtYqvw/playlists
I am asking for mentors for this year. Mentors Job: Create tasks: based on the quickstarts. Evaluate students: Check every day if there is a task to evaluate. I hope this year we can make it a success again. If you have ideas of what the tasks could be, please sign as mentors. I already signed as mentor.

OSGeo participated last year for the first time, where kids performed tasks from 11 OSGeo projects, completing 649 tasks in total over about a 6 week span. The tasks are short, only 3-5 hours long, and are not only about coding but can be documentation, testing, creating logos, videos, blogs, and fun things that kids like to do. Interested mentors are asked to fill in the short Google form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jDbLOiQpNbA4wldXo0N5cUDY6aDKkEIvouOL0osAyO0 The contests starts 23 October and ends 12 December, but OSGeo's application is due this coming Monday, so we please if you're interested fill in that Google form right away (having mentors helps our chances to have the application accepted). You can see the full timeline of the contest at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2018 We'll also have a quick IRC meeting this Thursday, if you have questions etc, please come and ask. Time: https://www.timeanddate.com/wo rldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2018&month=09&day=13&hour=16&min=0 In the IRC channel #osgeo-gsoc (connect directly in your browser through https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=osgeo-gsoc ) Last year we had tasks from projects such as GRASS GIS, pgRouting, MapServer, GeoServer, OpenLayers, OSGeoLive, PostGIS, QGIS, FOSS4G, and gvSIG). Let's have more this year!! Please share this to all OSGeo projects (official/incubation/community). thanks! -Code-in admins 2018 _______________________________________________ GCI-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gci-discuss -- Georepublic UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Salzmannstraße 44, 81739 München, Germany Vicky Vergara Operations Research eMail: [email protected] Web: https://georepublic.info Tel: +49 (089) 4161 7698-1 Fax: +49 (089) 4161 7698-9 Commercial register: Amtsgericht München, HRB 181428 CEO: Daniel Kastl
