<p>Folks from TheGoodDocsProject and OSGeo communities,<br>
</p>
<p>Felicity Brand and Swapnil Ogale have been selected to join
Google's Season Of Docs [1], under the umbrella of the OSGeo
Foundation. Felicity and Swapnil are both seasoned technical
writers, keen to help, and keen to learn about working with Open
Source communities. I'm sure you will make them feel welcome and
will help them to help us.</p>
<p>Felicity has opted to focus on reviewing OSGeo Quickstarts.<br>
</p>
<p>Swapnil had opted to create writing templates for Open Source,
but these tasks are being superseded by the emerging
GoodDocsProject [2], so we plan to focus Swapnil in one of the
other writing tasks on the OSGeo agenda. (More details to come). <br>
</p>
<p>Of note, discussion [3] about OSGeo's Season Of Docs has led to
scores of writing volunteers signing up to progress documentation
in GeoNetwork, QGIS, OSGeoLive and Open Source in general through
TheGoodDocsProject. Come join our email list, or reach out to me,
if you are interested.</p>
