Subject: Age Requirement Woes

Hello, I am disheartened that next year I will be unable to participate in
google-code in or google summer of code because of my age of all things. I
will turn 18 in mid October, but since to participate in google code in you
must be no older than 17 by November 22, I will be unable to participate. I
also can not do google summer of code because though ill be 18 I will still
be a Senior in High School. I aspire to be a Computer Science major to
become a Software Developer, and when I heard about these contests I
thought they would give wonderful real world experience working on code. It
seems like such an enriching opportunity! Alas, I can not join either
because of my age, is there anything I can do about it or am I just very
unlucky?

We have not announced whether or not we will be holding the Google Code-in
contest again this fall yet. True, you will be too old to participate in
the GCI contest should it occur this fall, but you can always contribute to
open source software projects on your own.

If you would like to participate in the Google Summer of Code program in
2013 (if we run it again) having some experience working with open source
organizations is always a plus. You would be eligible to participate in
GSoC next year if you have been accepted into a university program for the
summer or fall session of 2013 by the deadline that in previous years has
been in April.

Best,
Stephanie

" if you have been accepted into a university program for the summer or
fall session of 2013 by the deadline that in previous years has been in
April." Thank you for your quick reply and since I will most likely be
accepted at a University by January and enrolling Fall 2013, then I can
participate in Google Summer of Code! I will go participate in open source
projects on my own to prepare myself. Thank you for giving me
this information, I am  much happier now knowing that if it is ran I have
the chance of participating! :D
