Google Season of Docs 2023
by Melissa Mendonça April 4, 2023

April 4, 2023

Hello, folks! Welcome all technical writers interested in participating in Google Season of Docs 2023 with Matplotlib. Now that Matplotlib has been selected as an organization to participate in GSoD, we will follow the steps outlined in the Technical Writer guide by Google. This means each technical writer should submit a Statement of Interest at some point with a proposed work plan for the project we are interested in (indexing the Matplotlib examples gallery). While the hiring deadline for technical writers is May 10, we might decide on who to hire before then. Submitting your statement of interest sooner, rather than later, is a good idea - but that doesn't mean you need to do it now. I would recommend you to plan on writing your statement of interest by the end of next week (April 14). Feel free to ask questions, talk about your proposed ideas and background and make sure you understand the project well - for this, I would recommend joining our gitter room ( https://matrix.to/#/#mpl-gsod:gitter.im). For the final statement of interest you can follow the Google template: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-statement **You can submit your final statement of interest to matplotlib-gsod(a)googlegroups.com** Please note we will not provide direct feedback on your statement of interest - that is what we expect you to do as part of your proposal. Good luck! - Melissa

Statement of Interest - GSOD Technical Writer Application - Vaishnavi Nandakumar
by Vaishnavi Nandakumar April 2, 2023

April 2, 2023

Hi Team, My name is Vaishnavi Nandakumar <https://vaishnavinandakumar.com/> and I’m interested in applying for the technical writer role at Matplotlib. I graduated from Vellore Institute of Technology in 2022 and I’ve been working as a software engineer at Visa in their Bangalore office. During my time as a student, I was heavily involved in freelancing my skills as an efficient writer and content creator. These opportunities were a fantastic way to gain exposure to different fields in tech and expand my skill set for the same. Technical Writing Experience - Transerve Developed technical content for Transerve Online Stack (TOS), an SaaS platform that included API documentation and user manuals. Responsibilities also consisted of creating in-product content for better user experience along with blogs focused on geospatial analytics and their applications. Transerve - Documentation Samples <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DDmyLcK9y1nKld-GpVhb3hkY9WfxfUVQW3V7bbz…> - SeaportAI Worked as a summer intern for SeaportAI, an advanced analytics and AI development company that required research-oriented blogs in the field of AI and data science. SeaportAI - Documentation Samples <https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1sRm4v6xyguEP5vNj6T2dkhqd2qz_5ixNlB7…> - Stack Overflow Helping people solve their technical problems is one thing but conveying the solution in a way that follows an organized approach that could be understood by both an expert and a novice alike was another task of its own. This was perhaps one of the most intimidating goals I’ve had and the skills I’ve acquired from this process can be purely attributed to the support and critique I’ve received from the wonderful community within Stack Overflow. https://stackoverflow.com/users/15834974/vnk - Medium Blogs A personal blog to document the self-learning progress in the technical subjects that I found interesting. https://medium.com/@VaishnaviNandakumar The technical writing opportunities I’ve had are varied across different tech stacks and skills. From geospatial analytics to machine learning these experiences taught me how to adapt to different technologies while maintaining an efficient learning pace. I took the last year to focus on settling in and adapting to my first full-time job which is why I wasn’t actively involved in open source or any other side project development. However lately, I have started to look out for opportunities in open source again where I hope to eventually make contributions that have a relevant impact. I do believe I can make valuable contributions within the scope of this project and if flexible working hours are allowed, monetary support for my effort isn't a strong requirement. I have attached my resume for your review. I'm also available for further discussion and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration. Regards, Vaishnavi Nandakumar
