<p>Jo, for most decisions in Open projects, I believe in being fully
transparent. The exception I believe is in a competitive selection
such as this, where it is important to allow selectors to be frank
in their opinions, and also be respectful with regards to
information shared with other applicants. I propose Jo, Matteo and
I start with a video call to discuss early next week.<br>
</p>
<p>Maria, I don't have visibility as to who officially registered
for Google Season of Docs, or whether an application wasn't filled
in on time, or similar.</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div>I have a denied access to that list. Is this because I am not

<div>That works for me. Is there a way we can capture

<p>Hi OSGeo SeasonOfDocs folks,</p>
<p>Those of us CCed on this email are the people who have
officially registered with Google as a SeasonOfDocs admin
or mentor for OSGeo, and as such are officially considered
by Google to be part of the SeasonOfDocs initiative. <br>
</p>
<p>(One of the lessons I've gained from a friendly Googler
was that I should have been clearer in distinguishing
between official SeasonOfDocs participants and general
volunteers from our projects.)<br>
</p>
<p>I have access to the list of applicants (link below), and
I assume the others CCed do as well. (The document is
restricted to the public).</p>
<p>We have 4 applicants, and we now need to decide which of
these applicants to select. I propose that the 3 admin
volunteers: me, Jo and Matteo - should discuss and then
vote on who we pick.</p>
<p>Jo, Matteo, is that ok with you? Mentors (CCed), do you
have any objections to us admins taking responsibility for
selection the stipend role? Please speak up by Monday 8
July if you have a comment to add.</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>
</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello open source administrators and
mentors,<br>
<br>
Thank you again for your patience. We received over 440
technical writer applications, so there is quite a lot
of enthusiasm from the technical writing community.
Every single organization received multiple technical
writer project proposals! <br>
<br>
We have been busy processing and reviewing the
applications to make sure they follow our guidelines and
rules. Consequently, there were a few that we had to
remove. There are also some that don't violate any of
our guidelines or rules, but they contain irrelevant
content or perhaps the applicant may have misunderstood
the purpose of Season of Docs. We have decided not to
censor those and are leaving it up to you to dismiss or
reroute them as appropriate for your organization.<br>
<br>
Attached is a link to a Google Sheets export of the
technical writer applications to your specific
organization. We decided that a spreadsheet would be the
easiest format for you to manipulate and consume the
form data; however, if you would like us to generate a
separate email message per project proposal, please
contact us on the support list, <a
href="mailto:season-of-docs-support@googlegroups.com"

<br>
When assessing a project proposal, org admins and
mentors should assess the proposal based on the content
of the fields in the form, without examining any linked
docs. (It's fine to follow links for tech writing
experience or resumes.) The reasons are (a) we must
avoid any potential for people to add to their proposal
after the deadline date has passed, and (b) we just
ensure all applicants are on equal footing. The tech
writer guidelines state clearly that the proposal
description should be in the form itself: <a
href="https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-application-hints#project_proposal"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-application-hints#project_proposal</a><br>
<br>
Later, we will send out a form for you to enter in your
organization's technical writer/project proposal choice
and alternates in order of preference.<br>
<br>
