[opensuse-project] openSUSE participating to Google Code-In!
Hi, Google approved yesterday our participation to the Google Code-In program: http://google-melange.appspot.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2011 For those who didn't follow our application process for GCI, let me quote the website: "This is Google's contest to introduce pre-university students to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software development possible. It runs from November 21, 2011 to January 16, 2012. We invite students worldwide to produce a variety of open source code, documentation, training materials and user experience research for the organizations participating this year." We organize our participation on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GCI We already have a list of tasks, but we should keep adding items there so students have a large choice of tasks (and also because we'll get more contributions this way ;-)): http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GCI_Tasks Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
Congratulations to everyone who prepared the application. It's show time!!! Στις 10/11/2011 10:38 πμ, ο/η Vincent Untz έγραψε:

It is, but we have to do more :) I just updated: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GCI the digest section, as I managed to find out more information that was missing, like how to asses points so that our task list is attractive to participants. Last year top achievers made around 300 points, which is 5 a day. http://groups.google.com/group/gci-discuss/msg/952a8c392fdddf36 Also, this is a bit confusing: http://groups.google.com/group/gci-discuss/browse_thread/thread/d8c533b8f152... as preliminary lists that participating organizations have are already public, so interested people have chance to solve them before actually applying on Nov 21st. Also, please, keep in mind that we have to use any minute of inactivity before and after 12.1 release day to add tasks to the list. There must be at least 5 per section. Research and User Interface are low on numbers. Looking on second, the only task there can be split in many small tasks, like fixing bugs reported in bugzilla, propose usability improvements, etc. Also note that there will be another period for giving tasks from Dec 16th, so when contest begins on Nov 21st, task development process is not ended. http://www.google-melange.com/gci/events/google/gci2011 -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
