-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [GSoC Mentors] Google Code-in org registration is now open! Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 13:11:34 -0800 (PST) From: Stephanie To: Google Summer of Code Mentors List Hi Mentors, Organization Applications are now open for Google Code-in 2015. You can go to the program site [0] to start your registration and application by hitting the “Enter Contest Site” button. The deadline to complete all 3 steps of your application (Org profile, Org application and assigning 2 Org Admins) is next Wednesday, November 11th at 17:00 UTC. We will announce the accepted organizations a couple of days later, on Friday, November 13th, giving accepted orgs 3.5 weeks to enter tasks and invite their mentors for the contest. We plan to accept up to 15 organizations for Google Code-in 2015, a 25% increase over 2014. This should attract more students and also spread out the workload amongst more orgs as well. _New Web app for Google Code-in_ Our biggest change this year is the launch of our new web app that the contest will run on. Many of you are used to Melange but we hope you will find this new application easier to use and with some of the added functionality that many of you have requested for the last few years. We can’t make every change that is requested but we did read all of the comments left behind by students and mentors multiple times and tried to implement as many as we could while still keeping the web app as streamlined as possible. Filing bugs We realize there will be bugs and we ask that you please use this form [1] to submit your bug and we will address it as soon as we can. Logo upload instructions When completing your org profile you will need a 300x300 transparent logo. Please see our FAQs [2] on tips for making your logo transparent. If you have any questions please contact us at gci-support@google.com mailto:gci-support@google.com. We are looking forward to our biggest and best Google Code-in yet!
