I am graduate student in computer engineering from Pakistan. I came to know about google season of docs and I want to apply for it. I read Oppia ideas and I am interested in writing the beginners guide to create lessons . I know I am a bit late but can you guide me please in this regard?

Thanks and Regards

Hey Maria!

I am Schezeen Fazulbhoy, also a computer engineering student looking to apply for GSOD'19 with Oppia. It is not too late, the deadline for applications is June 28, 2019 at 18:00 UTC. The entire timeline can be found here: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline. That leaves you with a good two weeks to submit a strong proposal. 

Even though it is not compulsory, it is recommended to work on a starter project along with your project proposal. You may select one of the topics listed here on the Oppia Wiki: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Season-of-Docs-2019#starter-projects. Also try getting yourself familiar with the existing Oppia documentation, it will surely help give you more insight.

Do not let the impending timeline overwhelm you, I believe two weeks is a good amount of time if utilised correctly. Focus primarily on drafting a strong application proposal, and simultaneously work on the starter project. 

All the best to you!!

Regards,

Schezeen Fazulbhoy.
