Thanks every one for volunteering as the mentors this time :slight_smile:. I hope to see every one actively help the students during the contest time.

We have created a mentor application form to collect some necessary information for the process. It’s a short 5 minutes google form. So I expect that all mentors can fill it quickly. It is important for us that our mentors are both capable and available for mentoring high school students during this contest. That is why we created this form so we get to understand our mentors better and help to run the program in a success way.

Everyone that will be added as a mentor must fill the form. I understand, we are all busy but 5 minutes might not be a problem if you plan to commit more than an hours to help the students. Here is a link to the form :

Thanks

The form is restricted one needs permission to access. Kindly remove the restrictions.

@suthagar23, if you moved the form under the GCI drive folder (as I hope you did), you will need to explicitly open it back up to be available to anyone with the link.

The GCI folder isn’t publicly accessible by default, since it may contain non-public resources.

Update: I found the form on Google drive and opened it up so it should work for anyone with the link. This changed the link to Google Code-in 2018 - OpenMRS Mentor Application Form, so I updated the link in @suthagar23’s post.

Thanks @burke for the kind update. Sorry, I forgot about the accessibility when I move it to the GCI folder.

Mentors, please complete that form as soon as possible. We need to update the GCI Wiki page with the mentor’s list and start to work on the tasks.

@suthagar23 thanks

Hi everyone

Based on their wishes and the contributions, Yusuf Karim (@ykarim250) and Sanatt Abrol (@mavrk) will Co-Administrate the program along with me :slight_smile: . Congratulations for both of them :smile:

Still, we only get about 10 responses in the Google Form. So mentors, please complete that form as soon as possible. We need to update the GCI Wiki page with the mentor’s list and start to work on the tasks. If you are not unable to complete the mentor registration before the 13th of September (14:00 UTC) , then you may not be on the list of mentors since we need to finalize the list to apply.

I request each mentors to participate in the discussions and task creations to make this contest effectively for the kids. Please check the #gci2018 discussions in the talk at least once a day. :slight_smile:

Thanks, everyone for your commitment and support to be as a mentor for Google Code-in 2018. We have about 20 mentors and 3 Org admins this year. I have updated the mentor’s list in the Wiki page with your profiles. Please let me know if anything wants to be changed.

We have a Telegram group which can be used for the discussions with the students and mentors. So please make sure join withthis invite link.

We need to create some tasks for the students and those tasks should cover all the categories. I would like to get at least 5 tasks from each mentor. I will create a details post about the task creations once the Orgs results are announced (Hopefully Sep 28, 2018). By the way, Start thinking to create some innovative tasks for the kids :smile:

Hey @suthagar23, saw this post a bit late. Great initiative. I am well versed with Web Technologies and also Machine Learning. Python and JavaScript are my primary languages in which I code. Let me know if there are still any vacancies for GCI mentors. I would really love to be one and I guess I can handle this very well. You can check my LinkedIn profile and GitHub profiles:

It still works for me but I think you might have to have telegram installed on your computer if you plan to use it on there. If you try it on your phone and have the telegram app, it’ll probably work.
