[Rd] Google Season of Docs 2022

[Heather Turner]

Dear All,

Yesterday Google announced Season of Docs 2022: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/02/Announcing%20Season%20of%20Docs%202022.html.

You may know that the R project participated for the first time last year with a project related to useR! and there is interest in us offering a project again this year.

Organization applications open at the end of February, so now is the time for us to explore ideas for projects and line up potential mentors. 

Organization of GSoD is done on GitHub: https://github.com/rstats-gsod/gsod2022 and I have added a number of issues with ideas drawn from discussions on the R Contribution Working Group, R-Devel Slack, Forwards taskforce, and R Consortium Repositories Working Group. Feel free to comment on these issues or add your own suggestions.

For more general discussion of GSoD, you can reply here, on the R-Devel Slack or at the next R Contribution Working Group (see the R Contribution Site for details of the Slack/working group: https://contributor.r-project.org/).

Best wishes,
Heather
