This page contains guidelines for organization administrators on how to create
an application to take part in Google Season of Docs. This information helps you
understand what the Google program administrators look for when selecting
organizations for Google Season of Docs.
The application form is available in the organization administrator
guide during the organization application
phase.
Your project proposal should be publicly available. You will include the link to
your project proposal in the application form. Use the project proposal
template to help you create your
project proposal.
After submitting the form, you can continue updating the information on the form
until the end of the organization application phase (
April 2, 2024).
Other factors
In addition to the content of the organization's application, the Google program
administrators take the following factors into account when selecting
organizations:
- Open source projects should be active. For example, the Google program
administrators may look at the number of contributors and the contribution
trends on GitHub.
- Google Season of Docs aims for a diversity of projects. The Google program
administrators examine the set of candidate organizations and make a
balanced selection to ensure that there's a range of organization types,
industries, geographical areas, product types, and organization sizes.
- Google Season of Docs can only accept a certain number of projects. The number of
projects accepted depends on the total budget requests of all applying
projects.
- The open source organization must be eligible to participate in
Google Season of Docs, as described in the program
rules.
