[Opensource] Code-in - Google's open source project for 13-18 year olds

[Donna Benjamin]

Hi all - sorry for cross posting this so widely, but I'm not sure how
much overlap there is amongst these lists.

I urge you to check out Google Code-in
http://code.google.com/gci

And...if you can, please do help spread the word.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get kids involved in real open source
projects - using ICT, creating ICT - not just as busy work for
assessment but making a real contribution to real projects.

There are tasks for everyone and every talent...

     1. Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
     2. Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
     3. Outreach: Tasks related to community management and
        outreach/marketing
     4. Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is
        of high quality
     5. Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending
        solutions
     6. Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
     7. Translation: Tasks related to localization
     8. User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or
        user interface design and interaction
