[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: [Season of Docs - Announcements] Organization applications are now open

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo folks,

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.

Are their any other OSGeo projects wishing to take part?

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.

I'm looking for a few others to co-mentor with me. Anyone interested?

Open source organizations can now submit applications to participate in 
Season of Docs. The application form is at this link: 
_https://forms.gle/axk8AvV561K2cT6S6_. The form is also available in the 
organization administrator guide 
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/admin-guide>on the 
Season of Docs website.


Your application should include one or more projects that 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>, 
then describe one or more specific projects based on your open source 
project’s actual documentation needs. See the application guidelines 
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/organization-application-hints>. 
Your goal is to attract technical writers to your organization, making 
them feel comfortable about approaching the organization and excited 
about what they can achieve in collaboration with your mentors.


Reach out to your community members to see who’d like to be a mentor for 
Season of Docs. They may also have great suggestions for project ideas. 
Mentors don’t need technical writing skills. Instead, they’re members of 
the open source organization who know the value of good documentation 
and who are experienced in your organization’s processes and tools. See 
the guidelines on working with a technical writer 
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-collaboration>. 
Once you have selected mentors for your organization, have them register 
with Season of Docs using this form: _https://forms.gle/a1x26WQGzURLerv66_.


Organization applications close on April 23. From April 30, technical 
writers can explore the list of participating open source organizations 
and their project ideas. See the full timeline 
<https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline>on the 
Season of Docs website.
