 With the 2018 release of Haiku R1Beta1, our aim for this year will be to help bring Haiku closer to Beta 2 release.  This will be a good chance for you to see your work end up in a released product!  We hope to have a large number of fun tasks this year.  Whether this is your first time learning about Haiku, or your second or third time competing in the Code-In, we will have tasks suited to a variety of skill levels.
