Google Code-In

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

Welcome Google Code-In Students and Mentors! - students and mentors find tasks at Google's system that manages GCI @ https://codein.withgoogle.com STUDENTS SHOULD ONLY POST WORK/COMMENTS ABOUT GCI TASKS IN THE GCI WEBSITE, NOT THIS WEBSITE

This group is for Drupal as a mentoring organization for Google's Code-In(gci). If Drupal is accepted as a mentoring organization, this group will also serve as a working group for monitoring Drupal's participation in the contest.

Students, mentors, and anyone else interested are encouraged to chat with us in real time via IRC in #drupal-google @freenode or more specifically during office hours below:

2 Sites made with Drupal and their Functionality and Usefulness

The first website is http://www.ncaa.com . It's functionality is to give information of NCAA basketball. It also lists scores and different brackets of the tournament. The usefullness of the site is to provide information, merchandise, and game tickets. The design of the website looks a bit small, and kind of boring. This site could help me find the locations and times of games, the price of tickets, and information about players or teams.

Ideas to help Drupal promote GSoC/GCI

From GCI Task
"Document 5 ideas to help Drupal promote GSoC/GCI"

  1. Promote on Drupal landing page. Maybe in the monthly post. I see there is a post like "What’s new on Drupal.org? - October 2016". So before the contest start about 1-3 months, include the GSoC/GCI news in the post.

  2. Tweet about GSoC/GCI in Drupal official Twitter. Use GSoC/GCI hashtag.

  3. Write interesting stories about finalists from previous years.

  4. Promote GSoC/GCI in Drupal developer documentation. If they have any tasks for students, please add them to GSoC/GCI.
