Over the winter (when it is still 30 °C in Singapore), I spent some time working on a few tasks in GHOP. GHOP is Google Highly Open Participation Contest and despite the horrible name, it is actually a really nice initiative by Google for high schoolers.
I worked on 4 tasks for Silverstripe, which is a New Zealand-based open source CMS. They have some really great guys working for them. Except for one testing task, all my other tasks were widgets (one of them is shown above). You can get the widgets here. And at the end of the competition, I received a $100 Amex gift voucher and a Google T-shirt! I was hoping for the really cool black Google shirt but instead, it was a white GHOP T-shirt. But its still very nice.

Glad you had fun with GHOP and SilverStripe!
I’m sure if you keep working on the Google open source projects you’ll eventually receive a black tee!
