Project checks

Work on this article will continue then.

@femkreations completed gardening the closed pull requests in GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

Discussion on application for Google Season of Docs

The discussion for a proposed application for the Google Season of Docs has been rescheduled to the next meeting.

Google has a program where you can apply as an open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. project. If you get chosen, Google will help you with the project’s documentation.

In 2020, the Documentation Team participated, and our style guide was completed. We need to think of a good project in order to be chosen since the competition is high. @milana_cap is already making inquiries to see if we can participate again this year.

It’s important to note that the application process has changed so this will also need to be considered in future discussion.

@sereedmedia mentioned asynchronously that the glossary may be a great project to apply for and @estelaris agreed.
