[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Fwd: [Announce] Call for Proposals for Doc Sprint Summit v2.0

[Soulliere, Robert]

I think this is a great opportunity. I would like to submit a proposal for the Evergreen documentation project. I wonder if we could take a quick poll of who would be able and interested in attending?

The dates for the conference are: Dec 3 - 7, 2012.

The key questions on the registration form is:
"List up to 5 individuals that you would like to attend. Please provide the country (and state if appropriate) they would travel from, and one or two lines about why each person is a good candidate. Indicate those who would require full or partial travel assistance."

If more than 5 would like to attend others could apply as individuals.

Any thoughts? Anyone interested and able to attend?

Thanks,
Robert

Dear GSoC mentors and org admins,

Google Summer of Code in collaboration with Aspiration and FLOSS
Manuals is hosting a "Doc Sprint Camp" at Google's Mountain View
headquarters (California) Dec 3 - 7, 2012.

The 2012 Doc Camp will feature:

1) An unconference on free software documentation topics - facilitated
by Aspiration

2) 2-5 Book Sprints to produce books on free softwares - facilitated
by FLOSS Manuals

Building on the success of the 2011 GSoC Doc Camp we are proud to
bring you the 2012 GSoC Doc Camp. Like the previous event the 2012
GSoC Doc Camp is a place for free software communities to meet, create
a book for their project, attract new people to their efforts, and
share their documentation experiences. The camp aims to improve free
documentation materials and skills in free software projects and
individuals and help form the identity of the emergent free
documentation sector.

Individuals and projects can apply. Food and accommodation for all
individuals will be provided and travel support (full or partial) can
also be applied for.

Be a part of this exciting event – propose a Book Sprint on your
favorite free software or come and help others write a book on their
favorite project. Guaranteed to be a lot of fun, productive, and a
fantastic place to advance your documentation efforts and experiences.
