Hi, Aleksey, I already submitted the project proposal last weekend with a full 5 member team. However, the Doc Sprint Summit allows for individuals to also apply to attend. The deadline is Oct. 26. I strongly encourage you to apply as an individual.
I encourage others in the Evergreen documentation community to apply as well. Individuals will be added to selected projects at the summit. I am not sure how individuals are added to each project though (draft, lottery, etc...). Also note that there is the possibility that our project is not selected but individuals are accepted. I am not sure about the odds of a proposal being accepted or how many proposals have been submitted.

As a relatively new person to Evergreen, I think many of the questions I've had to answer to get going are still fresh in my mind. I've also been working with libraries interested in Evergreen and talking to our current libraries, so I know some of their perspectives and concerns. Also, I have some sysadmin documentation written - at this point for our local needs, but I am planning to submit it to the community and perhaps it could be of some use for this project as well.
