<p dir="ltr">Hi</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is now official. Google Code-in will occur this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I asked earlier about folks mentoring and now we know for sure that we need mentors lined up before we commit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Please let me know privately if you have questions or want to mentor. This is really a nice opportunity to encourage the next generation of hackers.</p>
