Google Code-in 2012 Contest announced for 13-17 year old students interested in open source

[Stephanie Taylor]

Hi everyone,

 
We’re excited to announce that we are planning to run the Google Code-in [0] contest again this November [1] for the third year in a row. We had a successful contest last year with 18 open source projects mentoring 542 participating students from 56 countries. We will again be giving 13-17 year old students around the world an opportunity to get involved with open source projects doing tasks ranging from coding to documentation to outreach.
 
We’re looking forward to a fun contest this year and hope you’ll participate yourself if you are eligible and also spread the word to friends, family, and colleagues about the program. Please check out the timeline [1] for more important dates.
 
Please see our blog post [2] and FAQs [3] for more details on the contest. You can also sign up for the contest discussion list [4].
