To clarify, orgs only need 20 tasks for their org application (4 tasks from
each of the 5 categories).
Should an org be accepted as a mentoring organization for GCI 2013 they will be
expected to have at
least 75 tasks by the time the contest begins on Monday, November 18th.
Best,
Stephanie

Hi GSoC Mentors and Org Admins,
Just a quick reminder that for those organizations interested in
participating in Google Code-in
2013 [0] the deadline to apply is in 5 days - Monday, October 28th at 19:00
UTC.
If your org has decided it would like to apply to participate in the
contest, please read the
Mentor Information [1] to make sure you have the time and capacity to
participate in the
contest. You can then go ahead and fill out the application [2] on Melange
now. The person
filling out the org app must already be registered in Melange from a prior
instance of Google
Code-in or Google Summer of Code in order to access the program application
for GCI 2013.
Please read over the rules for participating as an organization in GCI
before applying, they can
be found on the Organization Agreement [3].
Again this year the participating organizations will be choosing their top
2 contributors during
the contest period, every org will have 2 students represented on the Grand
Prize Trip.
The most important part of your application is the tasks list, be sure to
have at least 4 tasks
in each of the 5 categories on your app. The Task list gives you an
opportunity to think about
how your org would break up tasks into bite size chunks for students to
work on (sometimes this
can be a bit tricky). This is also a great way for orgs to see how
easy/difficult it will be for
them to come up with tasks for the contest. Orgs should expect to have
between 150-300 tasks
completed by students throughout the 7 week program. The orgs that are
chosen to participate
will need to be prepared to have at least 75 tasks on their page when the
contest opens for
students on Nov 18th.
If you have any questions please contact this list or you can contact me
directly at
sttay...@google.com <mailto:sttay...@google.com>. Thanks.
We will announce the GCI 2013 Mentoring orgs on Friday, November 1st.
