[SeasonOfDocs] Fwd: [Season of Docs - Announcements] Announcing Season of Docs 2020 🎉

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi folks,
Anyone here interested to put forward a 2020 OSGeo proposal for
SeasonOfDocs? I won't be in a position to mentor this year, as I start work
as a Google employee in a couple of weeks.

If you are interested, there is plenty of ideas we can draw from last
year's application. In particular, I think we have a compelling case to
request a writer for QGIS.

We’re delighted to announce Season of Docs 2020!

Season of Docs is a Google program that fosters collaboration between open
source projects and technical writers. Details are on our website:
g.co/seasonofdocs.

Would you like to take part in Season of Docs as a technical writer or open
source mentor?

Open source organizations can start thinking now about the projects you’d
like a technical writer to work on. Take a look at the examples of project
ideas <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/project-ideas> and
the successful 2019 projects
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/2019/participants>.
Reach out to your community members to see who’d like to be a mentor for
Season of Docs. As a mentor, you don’t need technical writing skills.
Instead, you're a member of the open source organization who knows the
value of good documentation and who is experienced in open source processes
and tools. See the guidelines on working with a technical writer
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-collaboration>.
Organization applications open on April 13, 2020. See the full timeline
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline> on the Season
of Docs website.

Starting May 11, technical writers can explore the list of participating
open source organizations and their project ideas. As a technical writer,
you bring your skills in designing and developing documentation to the open
source organization. Take a look at the 2019 projects
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/2019/participants> and
think about organizing your schedule to participate in Season of Docs based
on the timeline. Technical writer applications open on June 9. The list of
accepted technical writing projects will be announced on August 16.

Please do tweet and blog about Season of Docs if you’d like to share the
news. We want as many people to know about it as possible. We’ve provided
logos that you can download and some example content on the press page
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/press>.

Keep an eye out for announcements of online Q&A sessions in April for
interested organizations and technical writers, and if you have any
questions about the program, please email us at
season-of-docs-support at googlegroups.com!

We’re looking forward to another productive year of the Season of Docs
program!

Best regards,

Erin McKean, Kassandra Dhillon, and the Season of Docs team
