The Tux Paint project, as part of the larger Tux4Kids organization,<br>
has taken place in Google's "Summer of Code" program for the past<br>
few years.<br>
<br>
The program below, like their "Highly Open Participation" (GHOP),<br>
which was a way to get high school students involved in open source<br>
projects. GSOC is for programming projects, while GHOP was for other<br>
aspects (documentation, art, etc.) It seems that this new "Code-In"<br>
program is like the two programs combined (programming projects for<br>
high schoolers).<br>
<br>
I haven't looked into it closely, but I'm betting Tux Paint and<br>
the other Tux4Kids projects would benefit from participating.<br>
In any case, there might folks out here who are interested to<br>
know about this outside of Tux4Kids' involvement. (e.g., educators,<br>
parents who have older kids, etc.)<br>
<br>
Enjoy & have a nice weekend!<br>

Subject: Announcing Google Code-in<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We*re pleased to announce that we are planning to run the Google Code-in<br>
contest starting this November. This is a contest modelled on the success<br>
of our pilot program the Google Highly Open Participation Contest that was<br>
run in 2007-08. We will again be giving 13-18 year old students around the<br>
world an opportunity to get involved with open source projects doing tasks<br>
ranging from documentation to outreach to coding programs.<br>
<br>
We*re looking forward to a fun contest this year and hope you*ll consider<br>
participating yourself if you are eligible or spread the word to friends,<br>
family, and colleagues about the program. Please check out the timeline<br>
[0] for more details on the program.<br>
<br>
We encourage you to join the Google Code-in contest discussion list [1]<br>
and announcement list [2].<br>
<br>
Please see our blog post [3] for further details and contact me directly<br>
if you have specific questions that aren*t answered in the FAQs [4].<br>
