Google "Season of Docs"

[Carlton Gibson]

Hi all, 

Parallel to GSoC, Google now have this "Season of Docs" programme: 

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/

The idea is experienced technical writers can get funding to work with open source projects on their docs. 

There are a lot of open Documentation issues. 

As such if you have, or if you know someone with, strong writing skills and you 

(they) might be interested here let me know and we can look into this. 

I can't quite work out whether if we just apply we might attract a writer, but it would be 

awesome if already someone in the community was keen for this.

Thanks. 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if we got any traction on this.

Hi William. 

A few people have shown interest so I will apply as an org for us. Then candidates can apply. (I’m hopeful we could get multiple slots but it’s a new programme so I don’t really know.)

Quick update: 

I've applied Django for Season of Docs. Don't know if we're accepted yet but 🤞

As per the timeline Technical Writer applications open May 29th.

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline

I put a wiki page here:

https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/2019SeasonOfDocs

If you have specific project ideas please add them. 

(TBH: "Take on the tickets" is what I'd really like 🙂) 

If you'd like to mentor, assuming we get accepted etc, please let me/Mariusz know.

Kind Regards,

Carlton
