Hi all,
Last year NumPy, SciPy and SymPy participated in Google Season of Docs, and I believe it was a positive experience for the projects (at least that's the impression I got on social networks). The deadline for 2020 is approaching (May 4th 20:00 UTC) and I wonder if NumFOCUS is considering acting as an umbrella organization[1].
Even if my project in particular (poliastro) would not benefit from this right now as it's not an sponsored nor an affiliated project (it's an affiliated project of a NumFOCS sponsored project, Astropy) I wanted to ask in case anyone from NumFOCUS would provide some insight.

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this up. We decided against participating as an umbrella organisation as Google places an upper limit of 2 slots per organisation for GSoD.
So it makes more sense for interested projects to participate individually as they can individually can get 2 slots.

Hi Juan,
To add to that: yes it was a valuable experience for NumPy, SciPy and SymPy. NumPy and SymPy are applying again; for SciPy we didn't quite have the bandwidth this year.
I'd definitely encourage you to apply directly to Google for your own project.
