[OSGeo-Discuss] [Geo4All] Fwd: [Season of Docs - Announcements] Organization applications are now open

[SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA]

Cameron, I'm more involved in the gvSIG project which I guess can benefit with this initiative; but I'm not sure to have the time to devote.

Asunto: [Geo4All] Fwd: [Season of Docs - Announcements] Organization applications are now open


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.

If you have any questions about the program, please email us at season-of-docs-support at googlegroups.com<mailto:season-of-docs-support at googlegroups.com>.
