Google Code-In Application Deadline soon - Get your tasks in now!

Hi folks, if you have been thinking about participating in Google Code-In, which is held from December through mid-January for teens not yet in college or university, now is the time to describe your tasks and get them onto the spreadsheet.

Ten to twelve organizations will be chosen to participate, and the more high-quality tasks we have available for the students, the more likely it is that we (that is, KDE) will be chosen to participate.

It is a lot of work for mentors who have lots of tasks, but each task is not much work. It would be excellent to have many mentors, each with a few tasks. By the way, many tasks can be "re-used," such as testing a certain number of bug reports.

Keep in mind that application teams and KDE distributions are welcome to bring in tasks too, as long as they are KDE-related.

For more about how to structure the tasks, see https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/mentor-and-orgadmin-info. We need each task tagged as coding, documentation/training, UI, outreach/research or quality assurance.

The form for entering your tasks is here: http://goo.gl/forms/wVtXW050X3

Our deadline for application is Monday, November 10th at 19:00 UTC.
