## Google Code-in 2018 [Week - 3 Progress] Hi every one, We successfully completed three weeks 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: **80** - Completed Tasks: 33 - Claimable Tasks: 47 ## Instances Summary - Total Instance Count: **1141** - Total Students interacted with OpenMRS : **659** - Total Completed Tasks: **686** - Total Abandoned Tasks : **446** - Total Inprogress Tasks : **87** ![chart%20(2)](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a53cd17a811c3274361b933f6d81b60d07d36a5b.png) ## Task counts claimed by students We have about 63+ students who claimed more than 3 tasks during this three week of time. ![chart%20(3)](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b2c891f82727c4e8f819ab079f760c0196b9df17.png) ## **Key Points from the progress and Improvements and Plans for next week** - OpenMRS is getting more and more students to compare with previous years 🙂 - Some students want to get the reviews quickly (it may reduce the time to wait for another task in their side - we need to accept this situation also 😄). So we need to plan and assign potential mentors for quick reviews. - OpenMRS Community also provided a good support for them during the last three weeks to continue their works - Have some plans to add more tasks which can give more knowledge of all type of tasks to the students. **Instructions for Students** - We don’t encourage students to contact any of our mentors personally (which may have your personal information). So we request you to use common mediums to chat with mentors rather than moving for private conversations. - Don’t add any unnecessary comments to the GCI dashboard after submitting your work there. It will change your last modified time, and we couldn’t catch you immediately since we will not provide much priority for your work. - Be active on Talk thread, IRC, and Telegram channel to help others. We can strongly tell that, working on more tasks will not decide the winner in GCI. So you need to be a good community member and active student to reach that point. 🙂 Good luck students 😉 _ **Disclaimer** _ : _We already have dedicated IRC, Telegram channels for the immediate help from the mentors. So **we will not encourage students to create talk threads to request for the task reviews**. It may reduce the impact on other important treads on OpenMRS talk._ ## Helpful links > [@GCI 2018 guide on how to write a medium blog](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/gci-2018-guide-on-how-to-write-a-medium-blog/20371): > > Hello @GCI- 2018 this is a guide on how to write a blog post on [medium.com](http://medium.com) [https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/225168768-Write-post](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/225168768-Write-post).
