Google Code-in is a contest introducing 13-17 year old pre-university students to open source software development. The web site is

  https://codein.withgoogle.com/

The Google Code-in contest is open for pre-university students and for 2018 runs from October 23 to December 12. Students choose tasks they wish to work on from a range of categories. Upon successful completion of tasks, eligible students can earn prizes (digital certificates, t-shirts, hoodies) and grand prize winners will receive a trip to Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California for themselves and a parent or legal guardian.

Mentoring for RTEMS is a rewarding experience. You get to meet and interact with young smart students who want to learn. Mentors do not need to be RTEMS developers, anyone from the community can mentor.

==Instructions for Repeatable Tasks==

The following tasks can either be done multiple times by different students (e.g. Hello World) or repeated on a different set of input (e.g. Investigate a Ticket or Add Doxygen Header).

= Google Code-In Projects =

If RTEMS is to participate in [http://code.google.com/opensource/gci Google Code-In], then we have to have a nice list of small tasks divided into the following categories.  This is the list that participants can see for general information and dynamic task-specific instructions, and the specific tasks are in a spreadsheet and tracked in a git repository.

== Coding ==

* [wiki:GCI/Coding/HelloWorld Run and Modify GSOC Hello World Procedure.]  This task can be performed once per student. It gives you "task credit" for installing the RTEMS development environment which is needed to perform some of the other tasks.
* [wiki:GCI/Coding/POSIXTimingTest  Add a POSIX Timing Test.] 
* [wiki:GCI/Coding/RefactorBSPs Refactoring Board Support Packages.] 
* [wiki:GCI/Coding/AddPerSectionSupportToBSPs Turn on Per Function and Data Item for a BSP]


== Documentation and Training ==

* [wiki:GCI/Documentation/Doxygen Doxygen Related Tasks.] 
* [wiki:GCI/Documentation/FileHeaders Fix Comment Block at Top of Header Files.]
* [wiki:GCI/Documentation/ClassicAPIRequirements  Classic API Requirements Document.]


== Outreach and Research ==

* [wiki:GCI/Outreach/Citations Update References].
* [wiki:GCI/Outreach/Tutorials Tutorial Tasks].
* [wiki:GCI/Outreach/HelloWorldVideo Create a video of GSOC Hello World Procedure.]
* [wiki:GCI/Outreach/Middleware Middleware Framework Evaluation.]

== Quality Assurance ==

* [wiki:GCI/QA/ImproveEnglish Improve English Language Use.]
* [wiki:GCI/QA/InvestigateTicket Investigate A Ticket.]
* [wiki:GCI/Testsuite/UnitNames Unit test names]

== Design ==

* [wiki:GCI/UI/WikiTBR Fix Wiki TBR Pages.]
* [wiki:GCI/UI/CoverImage Create a Cover Image.]
