Hello folks, we are still very low on mentors (only 11 have signed up so far) and tasks: about 45 at last glance. Please get with your teams and find some more mentors, and get creative with some tasks. Assign writing some unit tests! Get some bug reports tested! Help kids get your application

HI everyone, GCi is around the corner and it is high time that we formulate a good amount of tasks with assigned mentors to look after them. We only have 15 mentors right now and it would be great if few others in the community could chip in as well. Almost around 13 hours to go until the org

Hello folks, GCi is much earlier this year, so we need to gather tasks NOW. The org application period is now open, and I see a good start on tasks on https://community.kde.org/GCi. However, they are all from GCompris! Please look over their tasks and copy some for your own project! Yes, this

Hi, I apologise for the the delay. I'm available for mentoring too. I can help the students setting things up, finding their way around KDE, programming and similar concepts. I'd hate to see GCI not happening this time around for KDE and students missings an awesome opportunity. Regards Aditya

Hi, Kopete has tasks that can be done by GCI candidates. Yes, people are busy. Other new members of KDE should take the initiatives for their projects and participate to mentor GCI students. It's a great way to get potential enthusiastic contributors for your projects. It takes effort to be

Hello folks, when I've written about GCi before this, I got few to no replies. My feeling is that previous enthusiastic mentors are without the energy and time to participate this year. Org applications are open, but unless I hear a swell of enthusiasm here, I'm inclined to not apply. Thoughts?
