Hi everyone, Here are a few updates on our application for Season of Docs:
1. Pablo and I have created the following document [1] with some of the project ideas shared in the mailing list. If you have more ideas, please add them into the doc and provide description. If you also want to be a mentor for the proposed ideas, please add your name in the table. 2. To submit our application, we need to publish our project ideas list. For this we have opened a Jira tickets with “gsod2019” tag[2]. We should maybe also think of adding a small blog post in the Beam website that contains all the ideas in one place[3]? Please let me know what you think on this. 3. By next week Tuesday (Application Deadline) - +pabl...@apache.org <pabl...@apache.org> , please complete the org application form [4] - @Ahmet Altay <al...@google.com> , please complete alternative administrator form [5] - @pabl...@apache.org <pabl...@apache.org> , @Ahmet Altay <al...@google.com> , and all other contributors that want to participate as mentors, please complete the mentor registration form [6] Thank you, Aizhamal [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FNf-BjB4Q7PDdqygPboLr7CyIeo6JAkrt0RBgs2I4dE/edit# [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7104?jql=project%20%3D%20BEAM%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20gsod2019 [3] https://beam.apache.org/blog/ [4] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrEq5yKmadgn7LEPC8nN811-6DNmYvus5uXv_JY5BX7CH-Bg/viewform [5] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5ZsBzqfsib-epktZp8bYxL_hO4RhT_Zz8AY6zXDHB79ue9g/viewform [6] https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-JjGvaKKGWZOXxrorONhB8qN3mjPrB9ZVkcsntR73Cv_K7g/viewform On Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 2:57 PM Pablo Estrada <pabl...@google.com> wrote: > I'd be happy to be a mentor for this to help add getting started > documentation for Python on Flink.
