GCI 2016

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Hello everyone. I've been contacted by a few folks from last year about 
helping and ramping up efforts this year. I've made a couple updates to 
our wiki, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn. I would appreciate 
similar updates to the community.u.c site. wink wink Mr. Callé?

The contest itself has yet to be announced by Google. I expect that will 
occur this month or early next with an application process wrapping up 
by Halloween. I am sending this mail as a way of allowing interested 
folks to speak up now and start planning, evangelizing, and organizing 
for the code in. We had a great year last year, and everyone involved 
should be proud. Still, as always, I think there are some opportunities 
for us to make it easier on our mentors and admins. So let's get the 
ball rolling. Who's interested in helping out this year as a mentor? As 
an admin? What areas would you like to focus on? Let's get hyped and 
start thinking about GCI!

I would personally love to see another couple admins emerge to help 
smooth things out this year and share the workload.
