Hi,

this mail is for the English-speaking Perl Monger groups.

The GCI - Google Code In - has started 2 days ago.
The Perl Foundation participates through the volunteer work
of Florian Ragwitz (rafl) and Paul Johnson ( pjcj ).

The dead-line for the first round was extended to 27 November
and in these 2 days I noticed something missing.
I'd like to call for your help.

Some of the tasks are translation related such as
translating
 - Mojolicious::Guides::FAQ
 - The Moose website
 - OpenWebMail
 - The GUI of Padre, the Perl IDE
 - Several screencasts I made and put on YouTube


BUT

In order to translate the screencasts, first we need
the English transcription of the text. That's also good
for people who are not comfortable with my accent.

Currently there are only 3 screencasts with transcription
so the translators cannot proceed.

That's where we need your help. We need both
students and mentors to do and check the transcriptions.

I think we especially need students as nearly any one of
the current mentors can check the content.

If you think this is a good cause please forward this message
to your Perl Monger group and ask them to sign up as mentors
or as students. If they are in the right age.


Mentors
=========
Here is the process for mentors:

1) Sign up as a mentor at
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/profile/mentor/google/gci2011

2) Join the #gci channel on irc.perl.org
If you don't have an IRC client you can follow this link:
http://wbe004.mibbit.com/?autoConnect=true&server=irc.perl.org&channel=%23gci&nick=

3) Talk to Paul Johnson ( pjcj ) or Florian Ragwitz ( rafl )
   who can invite  you to the TPF program.

Let them know you are ready to mentor transcriptions.


Students
=========


1) Sign up as a student: I think this is the form:
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/profile/student/google/gci2011

2) Join the #gci channel on irc.perl.org
If you don't have an IRC client you can follow this link:
http://wbe004.mibbit.com/?autoConnect=true&server=irc.perl.org&channel=%23gci&nick=

3) Talk to Paul Johnson ( pjcj ) or Florian Ragwitz ( rafl )
 who can direct you further.

I think that's it.

regards
  Gabor
