I'll have a bit of time on Sunday afternoon to spend in the chat room. Maybe a bit on Saturday night. Shai On 1/31/08, Angela Byron <drupal-devel@webchick.net> wrote:

So as you may or may not know, the GHOP contest *ends* this weekend (Sunday night Pacific [California] time). As you also may or may not know, both myself and Addi are not going to be around much, since we'll be headed to LA for work, and that leaves poor aclight to do all the last minute GHOP admin stuff by himself. :(

What we need is a small horde (or preferably a large one!) of people around in #drupal-ghop to answer student questions, as well as keeping an eye on the following issues, which are the only remaining tasks in play. All of these tasks **MUST** be reviewed and marked "Closed" by 23:59 PST Feb. 3, or the student will *not* receive credit for their final tasks. :(

Code tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/212731 - Git backend for Version Control API * http://drupal.org/node/212729 - Mercurial backend for Version Control API * http://drupal.org/node/212732 - SVN backend for Version Control API * http://drupal.org/node/211215 - SimpleTests for CCK * http://drupal.org/node/210547 - Port cck_map to D6 * http://drupal.org/node/70596 - Views support for Atom module * http://drupal.org/node/209375 - Port Bluebreeze theme to D6

Marketing tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/210105 - Create presentation of top 5 modules * http://drupal.org/node/202312 - Create a 30 second commercial for D6

Documentation tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/212512 - Document the flexifilter module * http://drupal.org/node/200879 - PHPDoc for FAQ and Avatar modules

Usability tasks: * http://drupal.org/node/211072 - Usability tests for Drupal admin * http://drupal.org/node/211815 - Usability tests for Drupal install

So if you're around this weekend *particularly* those last, perilous couple of hours on Sunday night, I would be deeply in your debt if you would make it a point to be around and helping with reviews and answering student questions as much as you can.

Thanks so much in advance, -Angie

One small addition to this. Angie gave the URLs for each open issue in our own issue tracker on drupal.org. However, each task is *also* being tracked on the "official" Google GHOP task list at http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-drupal/issues/list Each GHOP task on drupal.org should have a link to the official task on Google's site in the original issue node or one of the first comments, and the title also indicates the GHOP task number. If you happen to review a student's task and sign off on their work, please make sure to *also* post a comment in the "official" issue for that task saying the student is finished. You probably won't be able to change the status of the official issue as closed, unless you are already on the access list for making changes to GHOP tasks, but Angie, Addi, and I will all receive notice of all comments on the official issues, and can mark them closed ourselves if you can't. Since Google will go by the status of issues on code.google.com, we need to make sure that when a task is marked as completed on drupal.org it also gets closed on code.google.com.
