Temporada de Docs do Google
O Electron tem orgulho de participar da segunda edição da iniciativa Temporada de Docs do Google, que compara mentores de organizações de código aberto com escritores técnicos para melhorar a documentação do projeto.
O que é Temporada de Docs?
A Temporada de Docs é um programa que promove a colaboração entre autores técnicos e comunidades de código aberto em benefício de ambas as partes. Mantenedores de código aberto utilizam os conhecimentos técnicos de escrita do escritor para melhorar a estrutura e o conteúdo de sua documentação, enquanto o escritor técnico é introduzido a uma comunidade de código aberto sob a orientação de seus mentores. Learn more about it on the Google's Season of Docs website.
For our first time participating in the program, we'll be mentoring a single technical writer who will be working alongside Electron's Ecosystem Working Group to reshape large parts of our documentation. You can learn more about the timeline of the whole project here.
How do I sign up?
Are you interested in collaborating with us as a technical writer? First, get familiar with Google's tech writer guide for this year's program, and check out the two project idea drafts that we have prepared.
In order to be selected as Electron's technical writer for Season of Docs, candidates will need to apply on the Google Season of Docs website during the Technical Writer Application phase that is running from June 8 to July 9..
Your application should include a proposal, which is a written document that describes in detail what you plan to achieve on the Electron docs over the course of 3 months. This proposal can either develop on one of the starting points mentioned in our Project Idea doc, or can be something entirely new. Don't know where to start? You can check out last year's list of accepted proposals for inspiration.
Aside from the proposal, we'll also be looking at your background as a technical writer. Please include a copy of your resume with an emphasis on relevant writing experience, as well as technical writing samples (these samples could be existing documentation, tutorial, blog posts, etc.)
If you want to discuss project proposals, shoot us an email at season-of-docs@electronjs.org and we can chat from there!
