Google Code-in 2018 [ Week - 1 Progress ]
Hi every one,
We successfully completed one week of time for the Google Code-in 2018. I just came up with some statistics for last week of Google Code-in progress.
Tasks - Summary
- Total Task Count: 75
- Completed Tasks: 19
- Claimable Tasks: 56
Instances Summary
- Total Instance Count: 684
- Total Students interacted with OpenMRS : 438
- Total Completed Tasks: 312
- Total Abandoned Tasks : 178
- Total Inprogress Tasks : 164
Key Points from the progress
- Compared to the last year, we are able to get more students at the beginning of the contest.
- Students are very active, and they are making the submissions quickly within a short time period. It shows us about their interests and the ambitions to achieve some goals in the GCI
- Some students are very familiar with the coding practice and seems extraordinary while reviewing some tasks (We need more time to review their submissions )
- OpenMRS Community also provided a good support for them during the first week to continue their works
- Unfortunately we need to work with some students who copied the materials from the internet and was not aware of the plagiarism issues. We worked with them to clarify the issues of coping the online materials and warn them also.
- Most students work on the beginner tasks, and they were able to complete that tasks within a given time period.
- We were able to provide some knowledge about Java, Python, I/O, exception handling, use case analysis, threads, multi-threading, documentation, Q/A, outreach during the first-week period.
Improvements and Plans for next week
- We planned to add more tasks during these days for the next weeks.
- We need to ensure that, the mentors are active during the contest and the submissions will be reviewed within 36hrs of time from the submission time.
- Need to handle some specific ways to grant the access to Wiki and JIRA for the students who need to work on those.
- Need some more plans to exclude the plagiarism issues
- Need some more plans to reduce the count of Abandoned tasks
I can strongly say that the OpenMRS community put a great support during the first week of time, and we were able to catch more students for the work.
Thanks, everyone for the great support, and we need your support in the future also
