## About Google Season of Docs <img src="https://391714784-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M9y2LWjPOOPJQwTgOhp%2F-MHTKptme9KWbxn5vUHE%2F-MHTRskJcs65CwmbXiE6%2FSeasonofDocs_Icon_Grey_300ppi-whitespace-cropped.png?alt=media&amp;token=1a4ca1e7-40ef-46b3-a2c9-8545f21fdfb6" alt="" data-size="line">&#x20;

The goal of Season of Docs is to provide a framework for technical writers and open source projects to work together towards the common goal of improving an open-source project's documentation.

During the program, technical writers spend a few months working closely with an open source community. They bring their technical writing expertise to the project's documentation, and at the same time learn about the open-source project and new technologies.

The open-source projects work with the technical writers to improve the project's documentation and processes. Together they may choose to build a new documentation set, or redesign the existing docs, or improve and document the open-source community's contribution procedures and onboarding experience.
