Hello GSoC Mentors, As you probably read by now we announced [0] that we will be running the Google Code-in [1] contest for 13-17 pre-university students again this November - January 2014. The contest will begin for students on Monday, November 18th, 2013 [2]. Organizations will be able to apply to be one of the 10 mentoring organizations starting tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th and the deadline to send in your org application will be Monday, October 28th (a week after the Mentor Summit). I will send another email to this list tomorrow morning with a link to the organization application. For some general tips about mentoring for GCI you can check out the GCI Mentor info [3]. We will have a session on Google Code-in during the first day of the Mentor Summit for people to learn more about the program and for previous mentors and org admins to give us their feedback and thoughts on the program.
