Google Season of Docs 2023 (GSoD) at AsyncAPI
We are thrilled to have started working with this year's selected technical writing candidates for the 2023 Google Season of Docs (GSoD) at AsyncAPI: Mahfuza, Bhaswati, Rohit, and Hridyesh. This year, all GSoD interns will get the opportunity to work on both GSoD projects: cover AsyncAPI document sections in detail and create 100-level interactive learning path.
Additionally, our GSoD interns have started a community vote to select our host platform for AsyncAPI Interactive Learning Paths. You are cordially invited to participate in the vote and share your thoughts, as your feedback plays a vital role in shaping the future of our interactive learning experience.
