Fwd: [GSoC Mentors] Announcing Google Summer of Code 2017 and Google Code-in 2016

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Hello folks, it is time to start thinking of tasks you would like
students to do this fall-winter. Remember, these tasks are for teens
who are dealing with schoolwork and teen life, so they need to be
small enough to be done within a day or two.

In addition, we always need "beginner" tasks, for kids who are working
in open source for the first time. Mentoring these can range from
frustrating to rewarding, and I urge all of you to think of a few of
them. You can schedule your tasks for when you have time to mentor.

We'll need tasks not only in coding, but also Documentation /
Training, Outreach / Research, Quality Assurance and User Interface.

Valorie
