Hey Michael,

Just pinging you about this. I already updated the GSOD page for 2021.
I intend to participate in GSoD with Qubes :)

hey Enjeck,

thanks so much, I really appreciate the help! and the interest ;)

FYI I looked at the GSoD instructions and they are quite new for this year:

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/admin-guide#the_organization_application_process

that is, we need to select *one* documentation project proposal, then
write basically a project proposal about it:

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/org-proposal-template

so if you (or others) are interested in a particular project, let's
discuss it and then submit a proposal for it.

I'm interested in the "Improve Disposable VMs documentation" project.
I'm not completely sure about all it entails yet, but I can do some research and assist in the proposal submission process.

Hi Michael,

On second thought, I'll prefer to work on "Installation Guide for Qubes OS on Virtual Machines". I was able to install Qubes 4.0.3 on VirtualBox a while back, and I believe I can do the same for Qubes 4.1 and write an installation guide for this.

It looks like the doc development period for GSoD should last about 6 months. The current projects are too short to last 6 months. So we can merge two project ideas into one? If yes, then I propose "Installation Guide for Qubes OS on Virtual Machines" and "Improve Disposable VMs documentation".

Regards,
Enjeck Cleopatra.

hey Enjeck,

sounds great to me, tho for the proposal let's frame it as one project
not two.

can you build a proposal using the below template based on this?

also you can choose your budget based on your estimated time, it should
be between $5000-$15000 (don't sell yourself short, try to get as much
out of google as you can):

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/org-proposal-template#project_budget


if you could draft as pull request to the GSoD page (or in riseup pad
etc) I will tweak/finalize and then submit.

does that sounds good?

Michael

I made a mistake. I mistakenly said that this GSoD session will last for six months. The GSoD timeline should last 6-8 months, including the application period. So, we may decide to use 3 months for doc development, and in this case, we won't need to merge two projects into one. What should we do? One project in 3 months? Or two projects (framed as one) in 6 months?

if you're comfortable/interested in both, we do can both framed as one.

here is the finalized proposal on my side:

https://pad.riseup.net/p/gsod-qubes-2021

I bumped your per-hour to 25$ to make it an even $12,000 proposal.

I have added to gsod page:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-doc/pull/1125

and will submit today, let me know if you have any further tweaks here
or as merge request!

looking forward to collaborating :)
