Can you please enlighten me more on the process choose a suitable candidate? Are we as aspirants required to present a proposal or any specific propsal? Any kind of help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

[wkwong-ribose]

A proposal is not necessary. You can find the project details on https://www.metanorma.org/blog/2021-03-26/metanorma-gsod-2021/
But if you have some brilliant ideas in helping improve Metanorma documentation, please do let us know!

I have mailed to the contact mail ID with the required information about me and experience in documentation works is that enough for selection ?

[wkwong-ribose]

[sajen-k]

This is Sujal Maiti, IT engineering student. I have been in slew of technical documentation writing for a while now. I have already written a proposal for the development of Metanorma documentation. Shall I send that as well? And I am willing to send it by April 25 2021. Is it fair?

I have sent my resume to given mail of the organisation: [email protected]
By when shall I expect the announcement of the selected candidate?

[wkwong-ribose]

The result will be announced on the Metanorma website. I can't tell exactly when, but it should be ready soon.

[deborahtrez]

Will you send the selected technical writer an email informing them that they have been selected?

[sujal111]

And also how many technical writers are likely to get selected?

[wkwong-ribose]

We will contact the selected technical writer. One technical writer is to be recruited for the project.

[sujal111]

Fair enough. Thank You for the required information.

[sujal111]

Fair enough! Thank You. Absolutely excited to know the same.

[sujal111]

Two questions;

1. I went through the documentation again and willing to make changes. Shall I start contributing?
2. Also when is the result of GSOD'21 coming?

[wkwong-ribose]

It turns out that our team might want to recruit two technical writers. The process is thus taking more time. The announcement will be made on the Metanorma webpage as soon as it is ready.

[SenKVarghese]

Respected sir,
I am a GSoD aspirant from India. Last year too I applied but was unable to get selected due to the heavy competition. This year because of the severe Covid spread in India, I was unable to reach you earlier. Please reply back if the technical writer role is already fixed . I would really be honoured to make a proposal for your organization on the given project if there is still time for me to apply. Any feedback at all will be most welcome.

Thanking You
Sen

[wkwong-ribose]

A proposal from the technical writer is not needed this year. The selection process is about to end. Should you wish to apply, please send your application to [email protected]

[sujal111]

Hello Sir Could you please inform when the result of GSOD'21 will be announced for Metanorma organisation? On Mon, 3 May, 2021, 5:27 PM 1DS19IS109_Sujal, ***@***.***> wrote:

Hi, I'm Mel and I'm working as a Technical Writer. I saw the organization's proposal and very much interested in contributing to improving the documentation. I have already sent my CV and some work samples to [email protected]. Looking forward to hearing from you. ! Also, let me know whether I should send a proposal as well, Thanks in advance :)

[wkwong-ribose]

@Mela88 Thank you for your interest. A proposal from the technical writer is not needed in GSoD this year.

[Mela88]

@wkwong-ribose, Thanks for your response, I have already sent the CV and some work samples, Hope you've received them.

[iprasandeep]

Hi, @wkwong-ribose What is the last date to submit the proposal to Metanorma?

[wkwong-ribose]

A proposal from technical writer is not required. To apply for the technical writer position for Metanorma, please send your application to [email protected]

[sujal111]

With all due respect, when will be result declared for Technical writer?

[wkwong-ribose]

There are many excellent candidates. The selection team wished to recruit two technical writers. It takes some time to process (e.g., clarifying GSoD rules, examining financial feasibility etc.). I am not saying we will recruit two writers but we wish to do so. When the result is confirmed, it will be posted on the Metanorma webpage.

[sujal111]

Thank You so much! Highly excited to contribute

[sujal111]

With due respect, apparently most of the organisations have hired the technical writers. So by tomorrow, shall we expect Metanorma announcing the result?

[Sujal123456]

Results announced?

[wkwong-ribose]

The result is now ready at https://www.metanorma.org/blog/2021-05-17/metanorma-gsod-2021-writers/
Once again, we thank all the applicants for your interest in contributing to the project.
