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.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this great initiative. It is truly inspiring to see the amazing contributions of young leaders of OSGeo.

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... -jeff (part of the first GCI admin team) On 2017-12-15 5:57 PM, Helmut Kudrnovsky wrote: > 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.
