Hi, folks! Is anyone interested in becoming a mentor for Google code-in program this year ?
DEADLINE 15 OCTOBER 2018, 11:59:59PM IST
If you're interested, please leave a comment here. Thanks so much!

Update via @Souravirus and others:

Those who want to be invited for GCI Mentor, thank you! Please follow these steps:

  1. Solve a first-timers issue. Provide the link to the first timer issue's pull request (PR) once it's merged. In case, you are not able to find any first-timer issue, solve issue marked as fto-candidate or support, these issues may require little more work, but we'll try to help.
  2. Solve a help-wanted issue. Help wanted issues are issues which are not labelled as gci-candidate neither as fto-candidate nor as first-timer-only. Provide link to such issues' merged PR.
    (Make sure you claim the issue first by commenting on issue you are planning to solve)
  3. make a first-timers issue. Use the extra friendly template which we generally use for creating our first timer issues. Provide the link to the first timer issue which is created by you.
  4. fill this form
    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSBS-ddZN2H-lviUJbKlbV2VwP21fdIutXOCBzigRhmXJybw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Those who made any gci-candidate task, please update it in #3276 as well as google code-in dashboard. Also update the gci-candate task with this message:
We are preparing to participate in Google Code-in, and have reserved this issue for participants in GCI - but we'd love to have your help with another one! Please check out https://code.publiclab.org to see more.

If you make any reusable task then update it here

@jywarren has curated a great list of things on mentoring, here : #2053

Help copy in issues to Tasks on the GCI dashboard

Now we need to start copying tasks over to the GCI site!

Also be sure to sign up as a mentor for various tasks!

Hi, all - this was just announced, and it's early this year!

http://g.co/gci

Organization applications open on September 6, 2018 at 12:00 (Eastern Daylight Time)

The contest begins for students on October 23, 2018 at 12:00 (Eastern Daylight Time)!

Organizations -- If you would like to apply for the 2018 program please start thinking about the tasks you would like students to work on and reach out to your community members to ask if they would like to be mentors for the program. Organization applications open for GCI orgs next week on Thursday, September 6th, and close less than 2 weeks later on Monday, September 17th. We will announce organizations on Tuesday, September 18th giving orgs 5 weeks to create their tasks before the contest begins on October 23rd.

Announcement blog post: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2018/08/announcing-google-code-in-2018.html

Shall we start making a list of tasks or types of tasks that people want to create? As we mentioned before, we don't want to post them all at once, but to have a big list which we gradually post, so that we don't overwhelm ourselves with the response. We need to be sure we can support enough participants at the same time.

Where should we make our big list of tasks?

🎉 🎉

Note the category Design: graphic design or user interface design -- could we ask for sketches/mockups, and design ideas for different parts of the site?

Potentially bite-sized design mockups that help to solve specific issues we identify... not even a page, but some small ambiguities or ugly spots? Something as small as this for example:

png

The nice part is that we might ask multiple students to submit mockups as design proposals, and we could compare their design solutions to the same problem.

Have people seen the csv uploader and could it be helpful for copying in issues?

There are some updates on https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/help/oa-tips
Please check that out.
This is plots2 gci labelled issue list https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Agci-candidate
We have 74 issues now.
Many issues have multiple instance count.
We are in a good situation to start welcoming GCI Students
All the @publiclab/mentors are requested to make some gci-candidate labelled issues, mark some small issues with gci-candidate tag, convert fto-candidate issues to first timers only issues so that we can start giving them to gci students.
Few guidelines https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/doc/GCI_MENTOR_GUIDELINES.md
Thanks everyone for help. Hope we will welcome a big crowd soon.

@publiclab/mentors are advised to add more information to welcome new aspiring students by editing the issue #3698.
Also, I will be closing this issue day after tomorrow. We will be moving to a new issue to discuss things to be planned out for gci.
So all the aspiring mentors hurry up and fill the form before the deadline.
Thanks everyone for making Public lab a wonderful community

Hi everyone - I just went through and accepted 10 new mentors who'd applied before the deadline. There were a few people who still hadn't posted a first-timers-only issue following our template, and if they follow up to do so (i left comments on your issues) I can circle back in a few days and approve anyone else. Thanks for your interest and support!

Since many of you are new, I want to re-iterate -- please check out our Code of Conduct which helps us keep this a respectful and welcoming community! https://publiclab.org/conduct

We take a lot of pride in our friendliness, as well, so we would as always LOVE to see people welcoming newcomers with some extra nice messages 🎉 👍 🎈

We now have THIRTY EIGHT mentors in the Google Code-In program. You are all amazing! ⚡️ 🙌 🔥

Looking for GSoC

Reviewing PRs and collaboration efforts will be judged in your upcoming GSoC proposals
If you are a GSoC'19 aspirant, then we need to tell you a good news. All the reviewing tasks will be judged in the upcoming GSoC'19 proposals. If you can review the PRs, help each other across issues, prs, create ftos and much more. Just commenting on the issues to help other folks is okay.
We will be having a special REVIEW/TEAMWORK section in the GSOC'19 proposal this summer.
All the best upcoming GSoCers!!!

Hi, @SidharthBansal ! I have been contributing to open source since a year. I have contributed to coala, systers to name some. Sorry for being late but can I apply for a mentor at Publiclab? Rest I am trying to find an issue for me to work on to prove. You can also check my GitHub profile. I have been quite active in reviewing PRs and guiding the contributors.
