Yeah, The problem is that they now require the organizations to Pay (at least in GsOD). So anyone who steps up needs to know first if this is at all possible within the ASF as an organisation (when we submit the project we confirm that the organisation is OK with accepting the terms, so without someone confirming that, it might not be possible.
Roberto, Maybe - seeing you stepped up as assistant treasurer :) - maybe that would be a first thing for you to take a look at ? We do not know if the new rules from Google Season of Docs are possible to handle by the ASF: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs How does the current program differ from Season of Docs 2019 and 2020? The current Season of Docs program has significant changes from prior years, including: * Technical writers no longer apply through Google to be matched with organizations * Organizations submit project proposals as part of their application, including a budget and proposed metrics * Accepted organizations receive grants, which they use to pay technical writers * Organizations submit final evaluations and case studies J.
