We’re delighted to announce Season of Docs 2020!

Would you like to take part in Season of Docs as a technical writer or open source mentor?
Open source organizations can start thinking now about the projects you’d like a technical writer to work on. Take a look at the examples of project ideas and the successful 2019 projects. Reach out to your community members to see who’d like to be a mentor for Season of Docs. As a mentor, you don’t need technical writing skills. Instead, you're a member of the open source organization who knows the value of good documentation and who is experienced in open source processes and tools. See the guidelines on working with a technical writer. Organization applications open on April 13, 2020. See the full timeline on the Season of Docs website.
Starting May 11, technical writers can explore the list of participating open source organizations and their project ideas. As a technical writer, you bring your skills in designing and developing documentation to the open source organization. Take a look at the 2019 projects and think about organizing your schedule to participate in Season of Docs based on the timeline. Technical writer applications open on June 9. The list of accepted technical writing projects will be announced on August 16.
Please do tweet and blog about Season of Docs if you’d like to share the news. We want as many people to know about it as possible. We’ve provided logos that you can download and some example content on the press page.
