Interested Mentors

Please first fill out the Google form mentioned at the top of: Google Code In 2017 Mentors

Effort for a Task

  • Each task is expected to take 3-5 hours of work to complete
  • Students have at least 3 days to complete the task

Types of Tasks

There are 5 types of Code-in Tasks in general:

Code
Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
Documentation/Training
Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more
Outreach/Research
Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketing, or studying problems and recommending solutions
Quality Assurance
Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
User Interface
Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction

Beginner Tasks

  • A student can only complete a total of 2 beginner tasks
  • Each OSGeo project should specify that a task is a beginner task by including "[BEGINNER]" at the end of the task name

Example Tasks

Project Tasks

Bulk Uploading Tasks

Documentation

Steps

NOTE: the python scripts for bulk uploading are written for Python2, these steps below were adapted for Python3:

  1. git clone https://code.googlesource.com/codein/api api
  2. cd api
  3. check your Python version:
    • python -V
  4. install module "requests" through easy_install or pip:
    • easy_install requests
  5. (for Python3) in list_tasks.py change print command on line# 46 to
    • print ('\t'.join([str(t['id']), t['name']]))
  6. (for Python3) in csv_uploader.py change print command on line# 81 to
    • print ('\t'.join(['OK', str(t['id']), t['name'], ]))
  7. (for Python3) in csv_uploader.py change print command on line# 84 to
    • print ('\t'.join(['ERROR', , t['name'], e.response.text]))
  8. (for Python3) in client.py change instances of "urlparse" to "urllib.parse"
  9. export your tasks from the Google spreadsheet (assuming you created a new sheet in the shared doc spreadsheet_template_bulk) as CSV (File/Download as/CSV), but before that be sure to:
    • make sure that the "categories" field is comma separated INTEGERs (see the "column definitions" sheet in spreadsheet_template_bulk)
    • verify that your dashboard PROFILE email address is the EXACT same as what you entered in the "mentors" field in 'spreadsheet_template_bulk' (otherwise your uploaded tasks will have empty/missing mentor)
  10. see usage of list_tasks.py
    • python list_tasks.py --help
  11. get a list of tasks at commandline
    • python list_tasks.py --apikey [OSGeoKey]
    • should return something like:
  5126447435874304        gvSIG: Make a video for downloading, uncompressing and launching gvSIG BATOVí.
  5172599543824384        gvSIG: Install Educational Games add-on on gvSIG BATOVí.
  5702068213907456        MapServer: Find and fix mistakes/urls on mapserver.org
  5723293673848832        gvSIG: Make a video of trying the game demo of Uruguay included in Educational Games add-on.
  5761046167945216        gvSIG: Give a talk about gvSIG BATOVí to classmates.
  5762611012435968        MapServer: Design a laptop sticker
  5765029615894528        MapServer: Install MS4W on a Windows machine, and take screenshot
