转: Google Code-in -- 鼓励13-17岁学生参与开源项目的比赛
Qian Hong
与GSoC不同的是, Goolge
Code-in不仅鼓励学生为开源项目写代码,同时还鼓励学生写文档,营销,QA(报告bug,哈哈),做研究,培训新用户,翻译,改进用户界面设计等.
个人认为,Google Code-in基本上把一个成功且流行的软件所需要的方方面面都包含了,希望若干年后Google
Code-in培养出来的人才能够给开源社区的生态结构带来突变.也许那个时候,
我们将会有机会看到开源桌面操作系统成为主流.
今年是第二届Google Code-in比赛

Google Code-in: Are you in?
from Google Code - Updates by Scott Knaster
By Carol Smith, Google Code-in Program Manager, Open Source Team
Cross-posted from the Google Open Source Blog
Listen up, future coders of the world: today we’re launching the
second annual Google Code-in competition, an open source development
contest for 13-17 year old students around the world. The purpose of
the Google Code-in competition is to give students everywhere an
opportunity to explore the world of open source development. We not
only run open source software throughout our business, we also value
the way the open source model encourages people to work together on
shared goals over the Internet.
Open source development involves much more than just computer
programming, and the Google Code-in competition reflects that by
having lots of different tasks to choose from. We organize the tasks
into eight major categories:
1. Code: Writing or refactoring code
2. Documentation: Creating and editing documents
3. Outreach: Community management and outreach, as well as marketing
4. Quality Assurance: Testing and ensuring code is of high quality
5. Research: Studying a problem and recommending solutions
6. Training: Helping others learn more
7. Translation: Localization (adapting code to your region and language)
8. User interface: User experience research or user interface design
and interaction
On November 9, we’ll announce the participating mentoring
organizations. Mentoring organizations are open source software
organizations chosen from a pool of applicants who have participated
in our Google Summer of Code program in the past. Last year we had 20
organizations participate.
Last year’s competition drew 361 participating students from 48
countries, who worked for two months on a wide variety of
brain-teasing tasks ranging from coding to video editing, all in
support of open source software. In January, we announced the 14 grand
prize winners, who we flew to our headquarters in Mountain View,
California to enjoy a day talking to Google engineers and learning
what it’s like to work at Google, and another day enjoying the
northern California sights and sun.
Visit the Frequently Asked Questions page on the Google Code-in site
for more details on how to sign up and participate. Our goal this year
is to have even more pre-university students in the contest than last
time around, so help us spread the word, too.
Stay tuned to the contest site and subscribe to our mailing list for
more updates on the contest. The Google Code-in contest starts on
November 21, 2011, and we look forward to seeing the clever and
creative ways all of the participants tackle their open source
challenges.

- 俺在多家高校里尝试，結果成功率不高，因为现在的大学生就业压力大，没有多少求知欲望，没有现成的好处不愿意出力
- 降低到中学生，高中的高考压力更加大，看来只能是初中可以搞搞...

如果IT公司愿意优先接收参加过GSoC的学生(即使没有学位),是否可以稀释学位的含金量,让就业压力大的计算机学生将精力投放在GSoC上?
然而,尽管GSoC团队的本意是做一个中立的项目,但是这个项目仍然是挂着Google的头衔,要做到真正中立,可能需要IT行业的多家公司共同创办一个类似GSoC的活动.
要让这个活动能够广泛影响在校学生,需要一定的规模,一定时间的积累,需要行业的广泛支持.不是一朝一夕可以实现.
虽然说大学生浮躁,但是其实IT行业也是普遍存在浮躁/追求短期利益的问题,所以要建立一个行业联盟去长期投入到教育中培养人才也算是一个奢望.

ZQ有没有想过推动一个面向教师的类似的"蟒营"?
- 让更多的教师了解开源
- 让更多一线的教师有直接参与开源项目的经验,真正体验开源的好处,在教学活动中向学生推广
- 参与过开源社区活动的教师,可以在新一届的活动中当导师,指导学生参加

- 尝试过,感谢庄老师的推荐,和一些青年教师接触过,但是:
- 发觉反而是年长的教师愿意尝试不同的领域技巧
- 年青的承受迁移压力太大,比学生还要市侩,对于职称无直接益处的,根本没有时间投入...
- 所以,一般对学校都是要求开辟无学校影响力的课时,进行自由蟒营,依旧但是:
- 多期蟒营过来,只有和学分挂勾的蟒营,学生积极性高点儿,在过程中感受到Pythonic 的学生也多些
- 其它的,基本在一开始面对复合性的陌生,就直接放弃了...
所以, google 也意识到这点,开始面向低年级,更加没有羈絆,更加思想开放...
- 教师已经成功固化死后思想了,虽然改造后果更好,但是成本太大
- 还是直接面向影响更加长久的学生们吧...

如果有谁感兴趣可以一起到原帖中讨论交流[1]。如果以后这个新项目有什么进展，我会尽可能第一时间向大家汇报。
