Drupal Accepted into Google Code-In 2016

Posted by Slurpee on November 7, 2016 at 5:11pm

Proud to announce that Drupal was officially accepted to participate in Google's Code-In 2016 contest. More info @ https://codein.withgoogle.com/

At this point, Drupal needs mentors. Please contact me directly if interested in mentoring a few tasks or many tasks over next few months. We need all the help we can find. Tasks for GCI are meant to be easier for students ages 13-17. Amount of effort to mentor a few tasks is actually easy and enjoyable.

Utilize this wiki to document, add, and organize potential tasks for Google's Code-In 2016 contest. We're hoping for at least 100 tasks for our application due sometime in October. If you want to mentor the task, add your name. If you DON'T want to be a mentor, leave the field blank. Current goal is to have tasks in the expected 5 required categories for our application...

*Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
*Documentation/Training: Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more

Google Code-in 2015 blogs

Posted by marsyn on January 15, 2016 at 1:22pm

Hi,
In this discussion, I suggest GCI 2015 participants share links to their blogs, where they're writing about Drupal because there are many tasks wich require blogging. As for me, I'm very interested in reading a really good post about Drupal.

It's my blog:http://awesomedrupal.blogspot.ru/. Read, discuss and share it with your friends! :)

Also, I have an idea to create a site (with Drupal, of course) wich will collect and aggregate blog post of GCI 2015 participants, news about GCI and another stuff that related to it. What do you think about it?

GCI task: Design a logo for Drupal participation in GSoC

Posted by wongalvis on December 13, 2015 at 4:41am

My task "Design a logo for Drupal participation in GSoC" requiers me to design a logo that could be used by GSoC students in their wrap-up posts.

It's my first time designing a logo and I seem to be far from having a good one, please give me some suggestions to improve. Thanks :)

Google Code-In Information Flyer

Posted by themadman on December 8, 2015 at 9:08pm

This flyer was created for Google-Code in 2015 as one of the assigned tasks. Here you will find an editable .PSD file where preferred changes can be made accordingly. There are also JPG files included to view the flyers. I couldn't make up my mind on which background color to use so I've posted all three pictures.

Ideas to promote GSoC/GCI within the community

Posted by aishmita on December 19, 2014 at 6:29pm

Google Code-In:

"Google Code-in is an annual programming competition hosted by Google Inc. that allows pre-university students to complete tasks specified by various, partnering open source organizations. The contest was originally the Google Highly Open Participation Contest, but in 2010, the format was modified into its current state. Students that complete tasks win certificates and T-shirts. Each organization also selects two grand prize award winners who will earn a trip to Google's Headquarters located in Mountain View, California.

Droopel? Druple? Drewpil? Dropul?

My Google Code-In 2014 task required me to explain Drupal in 3 paragrahs to be understood by people who aren't familiar with computers or high-tech jargon. I like creative writing and sharing new information with people so I claimed the task.

GCI 2014 Task: Organize a Drupal installation/basics workshop at your school

Posted by cschmittiey on December 12, 2014 at 3:34am

One of my Google Code In tasks has been to teach a group of friends or school mates the basics of installing Drupal. I chose this because I regularly attend my school's Student Technology and Coding Club, and I couldn't imagine a better audience in my high school to teach things like this to.

Premoting GCI & GSoc

Posted by googlecodeinarjan on December 10, 2014 at 11:40am

"Drupal Gift Bag" for winning GCI students

Posted by Slurpee on December 9, 2014 at 11:42pm

As a community, Drupal should truly give back to our winning GCI students. The students spend a lot of time on GCI and it is not easy work. GSoC students are paid to work, but GCI students compete in a contest to win a trip to Google with no money. We have previously discussed providing our two winning GCI students with some type of "Drupal Gift Bag" that would include items such as t-shirts, stickers, books, magazines, etc. Let's move forward and make this happen for our 2014 winners.

This module was being created with the intention to increase the performance of their websites. For more information about Mr.
