The winners and finalists of Google Code-in 2018 have been officially announced by Google just now (find here). I’m very happy to copy that message to here for our community.
Congrats everyone and thanks to all of our community for taking apart into this contest until the end. Hope everyone enjoyed and received some experiences through the work they put here.
Thank you so much to the community for such a support! Both mentors and community members who weren’t directly involved in the contest were really helpful and patient. GCI was one of the best experiences for me thanks to all of you. And open source itself is much more inspiring than I’ve ever imagined. Congratulations, everyone!
There is a change in the GCI Results dashboard since Google forgot to update their results board to cover 4 names of finalists (before they released only 03) . Now, one more finalist has been added into the results dashboard just before.
Congrats @risky.case for your work and commitment to become a finalist!
Google Code-In is a task-based challenge for teens, not project-based like GSoC. So, finalists & winners have excelled at completing many different tasks and interacting with the community and mentors.
That said, it wouldn’t be bad to call out some notable contributions/accomplishments made by GCI students (e.g., community priority ticket(s) closed, documentation cleaned up, etc.).
Thank you OpenMRS for letting me have this opportunity. It was an amazing experience contributing to OpenMRS. Looking forward to making some more valuable contributions.
