(a sample task is here https://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/6127040658931= 712 = i have since updated the text a little bit advising students for the need= for writing tests and testing against develop and use-mail branches) essentially that means that sup is able to participate at google code-in.= so far only one student showed interest, but if well maintained he might = become a sup contributor. if you are interested to take advantage of this you could help in the fol= lowing ways: if you have suggestions for tasks, add them right on that etherpad page. = (add your name and a description of the task) you could also add your name behind existing tasks if you are interested = to help students with those. i don't think you need to sign up with google code-in to help. it is prob= ably enough to communicate with the students through github issues and pull-requests. and you can help by reviewing and closing pull-requests. if a pull-request is closed i can immediately close the students task, th= ough i may close their task if i am satisfied with the work, regardless of the pull-request status. (since the tasks are my wishlist, it doesn't necessa= rily follow that all my wishes should be accepted into sup) note that google code-in is a contest, and the number of tasks the studen= ts close carries some weight in winning a prize. this causes some students t= o show impatience with getting their tasks reviewed. i do hope that this impatie= nce does not spill over into github discussions, but if it happens, please ju= st ignore it (and let me know, so i can deal with it) greetings, martin. -- = eKita - the online platform for your entire academic = life -- = chief engineer eKit= a.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver= .org BLUG secretary beijinglug= .org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss= .com unix sysadmin Martin B=C3=A4hr working in china http://societyserver.or= g/mbaehr/
