Thank you; we already have enough tasks, but we didn't find enough 
volunteers to mentor them. So OpenOffice won't be asking Apache to apply.

  Andrea.

Hey Andrea,

just a bit more information on GCI. We need 20 tasks already for the org 
application to be
considered. Just wanted to let you know.

Cheers,

Uli

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 . Thanks.


We will announce the GCI 2013 Mentoring orgs on Friday, November 1st.
