<p>OSGeo folks,</p>
<p>As per below, Google's Season of Docs is inviting Open Source
projects to put in proposals. I'll be putting in an OSGeoLive
proposal [1], and suggest we do so under the name of the OSGeo
Foundation (along with other OSGeo projects). The QGIS
documentation team have also noted their interest.</p>
<p>Are their any other OSGeo projects wishing to take part?</p>
<p>I plan to follow the same format as prior OSGeo's Summer of Code
initiatives, and will put together wiki pages over the next week
or so.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a few others to co-mentor with me. Anyone
interested? <br>
</p>
