> Hello everyone! As you may have heard, ubuntu has been accepted as a
> mentoring organization for Google Code In (GCI). GCI is a opportunity
> for high school students to learn about and participate in open source
> communities. Mentoring organizations create tasks and review the
> students work. Google then provides rewards for those students who do
> the best work. The contest is very similar to GSOC, but is much shorter,
> and isn't intended for intense mentoring. The contest runs from December
> 7, 2015 to January 25, 2016.
> 
> As part of being a mentoring organization, we are committed to creating
> 100+ tasks for students to work on during GCI. This involves finding
> mentors who are willing to write up tasks, and agree to answer questions
> and review the task when it's complete. A task is a simple item of work
> that can be completed in 2-5 hours. As a mentor, it's not intended for
> you to train or teach any skills; the students should have those skills
> before attempting the task. You can find a full list of details about
> mentoring and what it entails here[1], as well as on the community
> portal that describes our role and goals for the contest[2]. You can
> create a be a mentor for as little as a single task, and we appreciate
> all the tasks and mentors we get. .
> 
> In short, this is an excellent opportunity to reach high school students
> and inform them about ubuntu and the opportunities they have within
> ubuntu and open source. I hope you consider taking part. If you have any
> questions or would like to volunteer, don't hesitate to get in touch
> with myself, Alan Pope, or Jos? Antonio Rey who are acting as mentors
> for the organization. Look for some new faces in ubuntu soon!

Google Code In is meant for 13 - 17 year olds, more secondary students than college students (maybe prodigy college students!).
