Hi Moshe.

I found some information for GSoD 2020 on the Wireshark wiki - there are more ideas what to document on this page. It could be a good idea to apply for GSoD 2021. 

Regards,
Alex

Hi Moshe. 

It is. For now I can see the wiki has outdated info or not has a description at all for some technologies and tools the Wireshark project accumulates.. my after project time I would still want to help with it's improvement if I can. But if you want to become a participant of gsod either as an organization or writer - go for it! It definitely worth it! <3
I'm open to discuss the details in IRC or other communication channels. Feel free to ping me.

Regards,

Alex

Subject: [Season of Docs - Announcements] The 2021 Season of Docs application for organizations is open!
To: Season of Docs - Announce <season-of-docs-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


We’re delighted to announce Season of Docs 2021!

In 2021 the Season of Docs program will continue to support better documentation in open source and provide opportunities for skilled technical writers to gain open source experience. In addition, building on what we’ve learned from the successful 2019 and 2021 projects, we’re expanding our focus to include learning about effective metrics for evaluating open source documentation.

What are the 2021 program changes?

Season of Docs 2021 will allow open source organizations to apply for a grant, based on their documentation needs. If selected, open source organizations will use their grant to hire a technical writer directly to complete their documentation project. Organizations will have up to six months to complete their documentation project. Keep reading for more information about the organization application or visit the Season of Docs site.

Technical writers interested in working with accepted open source organizations will be able to share their contact information via the Season of Docs GitHub repository, or submit proposals directly to the organizations, and will not need to submit a formal application through Season of Docs.

Participating organizations will help broaden our understanding of effective documentation practices and metrics in open source by submitting a final case study upon completion of the program. The project case study will outline the problem the documentation project was intended to solve, what metrics were used to judge the effectiveness of the documentation, and what the organization learned for the future. All the project case studies will be published on the Season of Docs site at the end of the program.

Organization Applications

Organization applications are now open! The deadline to apply is March 26, 2021 at 18:00 UTC

To apply, first read the guidelines for creating an organization application on the Season of Docs website.

Take a look at the examples of project ideas, then create a project proposal based on your open source project’s actual documentation needs. Your goal is to attract technical writers to your organization, making them feel comfortable about approaching the organization and excited about what they can achieve.

Organizations can submit their applications here: http://goo.gle/3qVxArQ. Organization applications close on March 26 at 18:00 UTC.

Technical writers interested in participating in the 2021 Season of Docs should read our guide for technical writers on the Season of Docs website.

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.

If you have any questions about the program, please email us at season-of-docs@xxxxxxxxxx.

We’re looking forward to another productive year of the Season of Docs program!

Best regards,

Kassandra Dhillon, Erin McKean, and the Season of Docs team
