<div dir="ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>The RTEMS Project has previously participated in the Google Code-In program for </div><div>high school students. We have gotten good work done. However, this program requires</div><div>more community involvement than GSoC. GSoC is a handful of college students</div><div>doing large projects. GCI is a lot of high school students doing small (1-2 day) tasks.</div><div>These are tasks which anyone using RTEMS could guide and evaluate.</div><div><br></div><div>The past few years we have declined to participate because we could not </div><div>get enough users committed. This resulted in a burden on a handful of</div><div>people like Gedare, Jennifer, Chris, and myself. </div><div><br></div><div>This is a good program but unless a significant number of folks using</div><div>RTEMS step up, we will be pragmatic and decline again.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>--joel</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Google Code-in Announce</strong> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gci-announce@googlegroups.com">gci-announce@googlegroups.com</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 2:41 PM<br>Subject: [gci-announce] Google Code-in 2018 starts October 23rd for students!<br>To: Google Code-in Announce <<a href="mailto:gci-announce@googlegroups.com">gci-announce@googlegroups.com</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Hello,</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">We are pleased to announce</span><a href="http://g.co/gci" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> Google Code-in (GCI) 2018</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">, the 9th consecutive year of our contest for pre-university students ages 13-17. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Please be aware, GCI will start about a month earlier this year than in previous years - the contest starts for students October 23rd!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">The GCI timeline, FAQs, and flyers have been updated on the</span><a href="http://g.co/gci" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(102,17,204);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">contest site</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">.
