I have reviewed the official Google Code-In page at
http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2010-11/faqs.html.
1. All information on Code-In refers to last year's contest. There is no
current indication of the next contest date.
2. Last year's contest ran from November 22-January 10. Approximately 7 weeks
3. Information on GCI site does not indicate what responsibilities/benefits a
mentoring organization receives.
4. Students get $100 (USD) for every 3 tasks they complete.
5. Students are defined as pre-college between the age of 13 - 18.
As there is no information about the next Code-In date, we aren't even sure at
this time if we should be planning for it.
Pros:
- Excellent opportunity to build relationships with young individuals and
create long-lasting ties to the openSUSE Project.
- Potential to get some work done including documentation and other general
community-related tasks.
Cons:
- The mentoring period falls on a holiday season and thus we might have a
challenge to find adequate mentors to work with students.
- There is no indication that a 2012 GCI contest exists. We *might* be
preparing ourselves for nothing. (But then again if we create a comprehensive
list of tasks we can use it for other initiatives, not just for CGI.)
ToDos:
- Build a list of tasks that match the categories mentioned in the CGI FAQ.
-- Communicate to all openSUSE teams to get their ideas for tasks
- Contact Google to find out more about their plans for GCI Contest.
- Contact Google to find out more about the requirements/benefits for Mentoring
organizations
- Contact the openSUSE GSoC mentors to get their feedback on ways to improve
the GCI mentoring process.
- Find someone willing to organize this once we have confirmation that GCI will
exist.
