<p>Hi Helmut, other admins,<br>
</p>
<p>Sorry for my slow response, I had a half written email which I
didn't seem to send.</p>
<p>I've had a quick look over your Summer of Code wiki pages and you
have some good material in there which I think I'll draw upon.</p>
<p>With regards to sign off, do you have any tips with regards to
getting official endorsement from the OSGeo Foundation? Any steps
that I should put in place? (I'm looping in the OSGeo-Board, who
might want to add suggestions?)</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<div>see [1] for a possible starting point. it may be a good
idea to ask OSGeo projects if they want to join the Season
of Docs under OSGeo'S umbrella and if they are capable to
provide mentor capacity for this period. then start to
outline some framework of rules etc.</div>

<p>Hi Helmut,</p>
<p>I think you have been involved in previous Google
Summer of Code initiative(s) on behalf of OSGeo?</p>
<p>I'm keen to play a role in Google's upcoming Season
of Docs initiative. I'm wondering if you, or others,
would like to join me, and/or provide me with some
mentoring with regards to what I should do from an
OSGeo perspective.</p>
<p>Feel free to loop in others when you respond.</p>

<div>OSGeo education folks,
<div>I'm aware that many of you have expertise
which crosses across education, writing and
geospatial software. I'd be interested to hear
who might be interested in bringing that

<div>As per below, Google has just launched
a Season of Docs program, designed to
bring open source and technical writer
communities together, to the benefit of
both. Awesome! I reckon our OSGeo projects
should get involved, and I'm personally
keen to be part of it. Anyone else want to
join me?<br>
