Subject: Re: Important: Google Code-In

Okay, Pjotr asked a very good question. Where do we list these tasks?

The answer is:

https://github.com/SciRuby/sciruby/wiki/Google-Code-In-2013-Tasks

Or, list your project's issue tracker, and put the tasks in the tracker. Make
sure to mark them as beginner, intermediate, or advanced. I suggest also
marking if they require C/C++/Java knowledge. See the NMatrix tracker for an
example (or ask Pjotr, because it was his good idea).

Pjotr, can you please forward to the BioRuby folks?

Best,
John

    Hi all,

    Writing from near the Googleplex right now, out at the Summer of Code
    Mentor Summit.

    There's a great project Google does called the Google Code-In, which
    aims to get high school students interested in programming.

    Not many orgs apply, and only GSoC orgs are eligible   so we have a
    reasonably good chance of being accepted.

    What we need, though, is between 100 and 200 bite-sized tasks. THIS MEANS
    YOU.

    Got some piece of software you need for your research that you think might
    benefit the community? Post it. Got a change you want in NMatrix,
    Statsample, Plotrb, some other project? Post it.

    I think we should probably include the BioRuby folks in this too; let's try
    and emphasize those projects that benefit all Ruby scientists. But in
    general, the more tasks we can come up with, the better.

    For an idea of how to set up tasks, check out the NMatrix issue tracker.
    You can also look at Google's page:
    https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/

    The deadline is ONE WEEK. I'm working on my dissertation and will still add
    a bunch of stuff, so surely you all can find time too. :)

    Cheers from Mountain View!
    John
