Arriving AS fit 12, 5:49 in Terminal C.

What time are you leaving, and from which terminal?

I have a 6PM call - might stay for that, but also might go to dinner w/ my family.

Could you guys discuss this too? GCI 2016/GSoC 2017 announced

@dkayiwa, why don’t you call in and lead that discussion topic! You too are an OpenMRS leader. :slight_smile:

@darius very good point. :smile: I would do that if @burke had not told me that @surangak is away and we still have some time, since the applications are for January next year.

Sorry to miss the call this time. Regards

Following up on the diversity talk… for what it’s worth, here’s a blurb from Google on their diversity statistics. (Not too good, imo). I couldn’t find anything on the breakdown of applicants.

“Next, we are proud to announce that 2016 marks the largest number of female GSoC participants to date — 12% of accepted students are female, up 2.2% from 2015. This is good progress, but we are certain we can do better in the future to diversify our program. The Google Open Source team will continue our outreach to many organizations, for example, Grace Hopper and Black Girls Code, to increase this number even more 2017. If you have any suggestions of organizations we should work with, please let us know in the comments.”
