[SeasonOfDocs] OSGeo Season of Docs has been allocated 2 tech writers

[Cameron Shorter]

Folks from TheGoodDocsProject and OSGeo communities,

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.

Felicity has opted to focus on reviewing OSGeo Quickstarts.

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tasks are being superseded by the emerging GoodDocsProject [2], so we 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).

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.
