Subject: Announcing Google Code-in<br>To: Google Summer of Code Announce <<a href="mailto:google-summer-of-code-announce@googlegroups.com">google-summer-of-code-announce@googlegroups.com</a>><br><br><br>Hi everyone,<br>

<br>We’re pleased to announce that we are planning to run the Google Code-in contest starting this November. This is a contest modelled on the success of our pilot program the Google Highly Open Participation Contest that was run in 2007-08. We will again be giving 13-18 year old students around the world an opportunity to get involved with open source projects doing tasks ranging from documentation to outreach to coding programs. <br>




<br>We’re looking forward to a fun contest this year and hope you’ll consider participating yourself if you are eligible or spread the word to friends, family, and colleagues about the program. Please check out the timeline [0] for more details on the program.<br>




<br>We encourage you to join the Google Code-in contest discussion list [1] and announcement list [2].<br><br>Please see our blog post [3] for further details and contact me directly if you have specific questions that aren’t answered in the FAQs [4].<br>
