Hey all! We are excited to announce that the Julia Language has been [selected to participate in Google Season of Docs](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants).

We have a number of awesome projects setup for GSoD that you can find on the [JuliaLang website](https://julialang.org/jsoc/gsod/projects/). If you are a current or aspiring technical writer, please check out the [GSoD eligibility guide](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-guide) to confirm you are eligible for the program and then please reach out to us in the `#gsod` [slack channel](https://slackinvite.julialang.org) so we can chat about projects.

If you are planning to apply as a technical writer, your first point of contact (we suggest [Slack](https://slackinvite.julialang.org)) should be the listed mentors on the project. If there are other questions related to the Julia Language’s projects that your mentor cannot address, please send us an email at `jsoc@julialang.org`.

Thanks to everyone for their hard work to get this setup. We are excited to hopefully welcome some awesome technical writers to our community!

Other Details:

- For details on how slots are allocated in GSoD, please [read here](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/faq#slot-allocation). The Julia Language is an “Umbrella org” so we would “…receive, at maximum, 4 technical writer slots for matching.”

- It’s worth noting that the way GSoD as a program functions is very different from GSoC. You can check out the [GSoD website for the relevant details on the program](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs).

- Successfully completed GSoD projects will result in the Technical Writer being paid a stipend by Google. Read more about [stipends for Technical Writers here](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-stipends).
