Take a look to the gsod FAQ https://robocomp.github.io/web/gsod/2019/faq/ and check if you are eligible for the GSoD.
I think the two main ideas for GSoD will be "A gentle introduction to RoboComp" and "RoboComp’s basic components"
Hi,
I'm Rohit Kumar (@aquatiko on GitHub) from IIIT-Gwalior, India. I'm doing my major in Information Technology. I am deeply interested in Open-Source and a GSoC'19 student under OpenAstronomy. There I'm working on JuliaAstro's package AstroImage.
I saw the idea-page of RoboComp for Google Season of Docs and I'm interested to work on it and the project timeline won't collide as GSoD starts after GSoC ends.
My GSoC project requires both Python and Julia and I have knowledge of C++ from my curriculum . I have past technical writing experience and I blog at aquatiko.github.io . During the course of GSoC I would be required to write a lot of documentation too. So, I thought it would be a good idea to use the gained expertise to GSoD too.

I'm interested to work on "Creating RoboComp’s components" and "A gentle introduction to RoboComp".
Usually at this stage in GSoC, students solve issues to get familiar with the project. Can someone point and guide me to such doc extending issues which could help me better understand the project?
Have you already followed the tutorials?
I just wanted to enquire, if you are only allowing professional technical writers from corporate sector for GSoD or would a person having experience with Open-Source documentation and who have written such technical blogs in the past do fine? @pilarbachiller
@aquatiko It's the first year of GSoD, so we are learning with this too, but I think that Google will decide on your application if you meet the criteria for "Able to demonstrate prior technical writing experience by submitting role descriptions and work samples", not us.
@pbustos informed me that there will be some assignment for documentation, (robocomp/robocomp#207) , sorry but i couldn't find it. Any lead?
Google Summer of Docs is a new initiative that will help us enhance our documentation. To select the best candidates and to know what can we expect from them after they have been selected, we are going to propose a small documentation task: writing documentation for the component hokuyoComp. The component can be found in the robocomp-robolab repository, under the directory ./components/hokuyoComp.
The documentation must be written in Markdown, so that it can easily be integrated with the rest of the project's documentation. A README.md markdown file will be included in the directory hokuyoComp (although you might want to include other files such as images). Because hokuyoComp implements the Laser interface, you should briefly describe its interface.
When applying for GSoD, please, provide a download link for a zip file so we can download your work.
There you go! Apologies for the delay.
So a markdown .md file in a zip file is what robocomp expects?
We have multiple projects.
How many of them will be selected?
I'm just curious.
Is the link supposed to be posted while feeling GSoD form? or is there mechanism just like GSoC where you share proposal links first for feedback and then final proposal at the end.
Done. Phew. @ljmanso and @pbustos , I have submitted my proposals today. The interface was quite confusing. You can get back to me for any clarification. I will be more than happy to make myself more clear in my GSoD approach. I have also submitted the proposal and the assignment solution in a link form.
Take a look at this previous message: https://gitter.im/robocomp/GSoD?at=5cf11a20f3a60a79a42dd8b2
But GSoD 2019 is currently running and you would not be able to apply till next year.
Is Robocomp applying for GSoD?
Hello everyone.
I am soon going to be in my final year at DTU, hence I would be having a lot of time on my hands for next 10-12 months. I recently heard about Google season of Docs through a friend. I think this is an excellent opportunity to help FOSS organizations in improvement of their documentation. I have recently started contributing to open source, and have previous experience in C/C++/JS development and research paper writing. I am eligible to apply for 'Season of docs'. If you guys can help me get started for applying to GSOD 2020, that would be very helpful.
Thanks.
