2022 participation
AsyncAPI was a successful participant in Season of Docs (GSoD) 2022!
⌛ Timeline
The GSoD program runs for almost 6 months.
In 2022, GSoD at AsyncAPI had 2 projects and we hired 6 Technical Writers (TW).
The timeline ran as follows:
- May: TWs received orientation on contributing to AsyncAPI Initiative, how Docs issues are organized, and assigned good
first-time-ticketsto get each new TW contributor started. - June - August: Each TW went through designated issues marked for both first-time contributors and work set aside for
GSoD 2022. Each TW started creating documentation for their issues assigned/selected. - September - October: We determined if we could complete both projects. We re-aligned priorities as needed and assessed what is missing to reach our 2022 IA update goals for AsyncAPI Docs.
- November-mid December: Project completed, and all contributors received some swag!
💸 Project budget
We had 2 mentors for our 2 projects: improving our IA and re-structuring our Generator Docs. AsyncAPI requested from Google a US $5000 budget for each project. For both projects, the request then totaled a $10,000 budget.
| Budget item | Total Amount |
|---|---|
| Technical writer updates, reviews, edits, and publishing new documentation for the IA improvements. | $5000 |
| Technical writer updates, reviews, migration, and publishing improved Generator tool documentation. | $5000 |
| TOTAL | $10,000 |
