Application Questions

  • Why does your organization want to participate in Google Code-in 2017? (500 character limit) OSGeo would like to introduce the future young leaders to our vibrant community, where over 38 different projects live in regards to Open Source mapping (geospatial). We think this will be a fun experience for both the mentors and the students, with tasks that are both fun and beneficial. We have been a Summer of Code mentor organization since 2007, so we know the important of introducing students to our projects. We say sure let'd do it!
  • How has your organization prepared for Google Code-in 2017? (500 character limit) OSGeo has assembled an admin team, made up of veteran Summer of Code participants, and have put out a call for mentors (we currently have 20 mentors so far https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2017_Mentors). Mentors have been already recording tasks (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2017_Tasks) and we will keep adding tasks in the next month. We have also met with mentors in the #osgeo-gsoc IRC channel (on freenode), and we plan on holding another meeting shortly.
