[Qgis-community-team] Fwd: Fwd: [Season of Docs - Announcements] Organization applications are now open

Wed Apr 3 11:30:18 PDT 2019

Thanks for the pointer Tim.

Hi Andreas, yes, I'd be keen to hear your thoughts. I've also been 
trading emails with Matteo and suggesting we set a time to discuss.

I live in Sydney Australia. Are you in Europe? If so, then morning, or 
late evening (for Europe) are best timeslots. I'm open to meetings 
starting between 6am and 9pm (Sydney time).

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=8&month=4&year=2019&p1=224&p2=155&p3=195&p4=37&p5=26&p6=240&p7=952&iv=1800

I'm particularly interested in learning where QGIS documentation is 
lacking, and where it would benefit most from a senior writer; more than 
just a series of Fixme tasks that a uni-student could address.

I've been building up a list of potential tasks (mainly around OSGeoLive 
topics) here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yriJoybYjsCKhprNLNGGanw8HRA5Z8GhrNrA5RjavUU/

Look for the "People keen to take part", and "QGIS Documentation" 
headings which I'm hoping you might be able to contribute to. If you 
send me your gmail account, I'll provide you with edit access to this 
document.

Warm regards, Cameron
