Hey Valorie!<br><br>I will be glad to help you get the proper data about the previous GCI winners since I am connected to almost all of them. Would you like me to contact each one of them and tell them about this database?<br><br><div>Best,</div><div>Nafees.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu Nov 06 2014 at 4:01:02 PM Valorie Zimmerman <<a href="mailto:valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com">valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I think my ask wasn't very precise.

What I would like for each student eventually is contact information,<br>
years contributing to KDE, and perhaps some of their roles in KDE.<br>
<br>
For some students, I don't even have a name, just a nick as listed in<br>
Melange. Some mentors will have kept in touch with former students I<br>
hope, and many former students are now mentors. Tonight I've been<br>
trying to add a tag to each entry, and regularize each entry to<br>
YearContest,studentname,<u></u>Project,mentor. I've not finished that work,<br>
or started digging up names and projects for SoK, much less GCi.<br>
<br>
However, when all that is done, I think this could be useful.<br>
