[Sur] Google Code In wrap up

[Walter Bender]

Google Code In ended on Monday. We had 296 students participate and 422
tasks completed. From the feedback I have gotten from the students it was a
valuable experience for them and certainly from the point of view of Sugar
Labs we got some great work done. We also had 36 mentors this year, which
made it a much richer experience for the students and a much more
manageable situation for me. And some help from some non-mentors too
(tip-of-the-hat to Quozl).

The mentors need to select our 5 finalists from the top ten contributors as
well as our 2 grand-prize winners and 1 runner up.

Please email to me you thoughts so we can take them into consideration in
the decision.

I would also appreciate feedback on GCi, our process and our tasks. Would
be good for making sure we do a better job next year.

thanks all.

There is also matrix.org, which is FOSS AFAIK and seems to let one
integrate irc with other channels people may prefer. I suggest a few
passionate community members give some of these systems a test-drive and
then convince us old-timers that we ought to learn some new tricks.

Regarding a possible move from IRC to Slack, or Gitter, or something else
as suggested by Ignacio, I wonder that we could just upgrade
http://chat.sugarlabs.org from qwebchat to http://demo.shout-irc.com :)

Thank you very much for this year Google Code-in! It was awesome time in my
life, undoubtly beneficial for me and - as I believe - to entire Sugar Labs
community. We altogether did a lot of good for SL and I am really happy
because of it. I am also really happy I could in general take a part in
this contest.

I hope I will be able to work with you during upcoming GSoC :)

Best,
Tymon
