Now on to the matter at hand: Google Code-In. This is a project Google hosts where open source organizations participate, providing bite size tasks and mentorship for 13-17 year olds from around the world. The winners and their parents get to hang out with Google in San Francisco for what is ultimately a really, really cool trip. Ubuntu has participated in this for several years, with Canonical providing the admins. Now there is a [plan][1] to have Canonical do a Snappy organization, with a separate community-driven Ubuntu organization. The problem is that we're scrambling to put the application together before the deadline Monday. The big hurdle is tasks. We need tasks across a wide variety of disciplines and some need to be a bit easier than another ones. That said, I'd love to have your input. Feel free to throw your task ideas right on the [pad][2] we have created or simply get in touch with an email reply, on Discourse or on #ubuntu-google on Freenode. Additionally, if any of you would like to mentor, it's a really great opportunity. You get a t-shirt out of the deal, too!
