The best place to learn about ASF in GCI is here:
http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html
Yes, the ASF absolutely participates and have some pretty good results -
both technical and new community members - in some Apache projects. I
don't know if podlings have participated, but with the appropriate
incubation disclaimer I don't see why AOOo couldn't.
Correction in mail-archives link below: it's [email protected] to
talk about GCI stuff:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/community-dev/201110.mbox/browser
Key point: good GCI results come from strong and *committed* mentors who
have interesting projects. The key thing is finding AOOo committers who
will have the time to volunteer to do the work.

Pedro,
GCI participation is being discussed on the dev-community list. You should
check into that conversation, dev @ community.apache.org

Subject: Google code-in 2011: can we still make it?
Hi;
In case you are not aware, Google has a code-in program where teenagers get
involved in open-source projects.
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2011
Compared to a GSoC, this usually involves tasks that are more related to
documentation or alternative task rather than heavy coding. I am not sure if
we are still in time to apply, or if ASF is applying for this program but it
would be very valuable for some taks like the Wiki migration, and having young
people involved in the project would be great!
Pedro.
