The Google Highly Open Participation Contest, Google's first contest to introduce pre-university students to the many contributions that make open source software development possible, concluded on February 4, 2008. We had nearly 400 students worldwide to produce a variety of open source code, documentation, training materials and user experience research for the ten participating organizations listed here.
