Hello GSoC Mentors,

As you probably read by now we announced [0] that we will be running the
Google Code-in [1] contest for 13-17 pre-university students again this
November - January 2014. The contest will begin for students on Monday,
November 18th, 2013 [2].

Organizations will be able to apply to be one of the 10 mentoring
organizations starting tomorrow,  Wednesday, October 9th and the deadline
to send in your org application will be Monday, October 28th (a week after
the Mentor Summit). I will send another email to this list tomorrow morning
with a link to the organization application. For some general tips about
mentoring for GCI you can check out the GCI Mentor info [3].

We will have a session on Google Code-in during the first day of the Mentor
Summit for people to learn more about the program and for previous mentors
and org admins to give us their feedback and thoughts on the program.

Important Upcoming Dates:

** October 9, 2013 19:00 UTC - October 28, 2013 at 19:00 UTC - Orgs can go
to google-melange.com and the org admin can register and fill out the
application to be a mentoring organization for Google Code-in 2013.

November 1, 2013 - The 10 Mentoring organizations are announced for Google
Code-in 2013 and the orgs can start entering their tasks into the Google
system (the tasks will not be viewable to students until the contest opens
on Nov 18).

November 18, 2013 17:00 UTC - Google Code-in 2013 contest opens for
students.

January 6, 2014 17:00 UTC - Google Code-in 2013 student work ends.

January 8, 2014 17:00 UTC - Deadline for Mentors to evaluate student work

January 13, 2014 - Mentoring Organization deadline for submitting their 2
Grand Prize Winners

We hope you will help us spread the word about the Google Code-in contest
so we can introduce more young developers to the wonderful world of open
source.  If you will be going to any talks or conferences aimed at
pre-university students in the next 5-6 weeks we would be happy to send you
some cool GCI 2013 stickers. Please contact me directly at
sttaylor at google.com if you would like stickers or if you have any questions
about applying to be a mentoring organization.
