Hello All,

This year ASF can't participate as "umbrella" organisation,
Every Apache project better to participate on it's own, BUT
If your project do need tech writer, but for any reason you can't apply
Below email is for you :)

==================================================
Hi All,

As mentioned the applications for the Google Season of Docs opened today
and I'm working my way through it on behalf of the ASF.

If accepted, we will be allocated either one or two techical writers.
Google will also pay the ASF a stipend of $500 per technical writer
mentored (which I hope can go directly to fundraising :-)

Each project that wants to participate must provide two mentors for each
documentation project.

As part of the application process there are a few things that we need to
setup.

1. Season of Docs Page and List of Project Ideas
We need to create a public webpage about Season of Docs that contains the
list of project ideas for documentation. I have created a page on the
ComDev wiki https://s.apache.org/w4CH  with a table for projects to record
their ideas.

2. Alternative administrator.
I’ve set myself up as the primary admin and Maxim as the alternative admin
(Maxim, I need to confirm your contact email and you will also need to
register as the alternative admin and I will email you the link offline)

3. Mentors
All mentors from the projects interested in participating must register
individually at the following link : https://forms.gle/a1x26WQGzURLerv66.

4. Application Form: Documentation / Technnial Writer Collaboration
There is a section to fill in about experience with documentation and any
previous collaboration with technical writers. I know a few projects have
used various tools for documentation - but not sure about any technical
writing collaboration (so if you know of any then please let me know)

5. Application Form: GSoC
There is a section to complete at our participation in GSoC.I think I have
the details from our application this year so can follow up with Maxim or
Uli about it

This is all I have at the moment and we have until the 23rd April 2019 to
finalise all the application details. Ideally I want to have it done well
before then :-)

Please pass on this information within your various projects and as with
GSoC - I'll see how we can get this information out to all our project
mailing lists.

Thanks
Sharan
