<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" target="_blank">season-of-docs-support@googlegroups.com</a>.<br>

<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">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>
If you have any questions, contact us at <a href="mailto:season-of-docs-support@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">season-of-docs-support@googlegroups.com</a>.<br>

Cheers,<br>
