| + | TODO: This page needs to have basic information about what the program is, that we participated in 2012, and that we are applying to participate in 2013. |
− | Google Code-in is a program run by Google since 2010 that introduces young pre-university students (13 to 17 years old) to open source. BRL-CAD has participated in GCI for a number of years and it works like this:
| |
− | *We create a bunch of tasks for students to work on BRL-CAD.
| |
− | *A student picks a task from the list and works on it.
| |
− | *The student can ask questions or get help from mentors and submits their work when they're done.
| |
− | *A BRL-CAD mentor reviews the work and either sends it back for more work or accepts it as completed successfully.

− | Still integrating prior tasks, we did not apply. We also needed time to focus on a major release and were quite exhausted after GCI 2014. We needed a break.
