This is an event similar to the Google Summer of Code, but is targetted to people in the 13-17 age range. Young people will be working on FreeBSD-related tasks for the next weeks. If you know any potential candidates, feel free to forward this message. Brief summary: T-shirts and possibility of earning some $$$ for participants. The best participants get a chance to see the Google complex in Mountain View, Silicon Valley, California, USA. FreeBSD tasks are here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/2011 Ideas page can be extended till December, 16th! Contest's home page: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2011 After you create an account, you can acquire tasks which you're interested in (if any of them are left!)
