Looks like it's the same form for both but you just indicate if it's a
project or individual application in the first form element

Happy to help but can't help wondering if their priority will be GSoC
projects.

This page:

https://sites.google.com/site/docsprintsummitv2/home

mentions that individuals can apply through 'registration form[1]' and
project can apply through the 'application form[2]', but I can't see an
application form[2].

There are no contact details for queries.

Am I being thick?

"Projects will be chosen from proposals submitted to the GSoC Doc Camp
before October 26 through the application form [2]. Project applications can
nominate up to 5 individuals to attend and participate in the proposed
sprint. A Project proposal does not have to nominate individuals to
participate - you can also use this as an opportunity to promote your
project to Doc Camp participants and extend your documentation community. If
the proposal is accepted the accommodation and food costs will be covered by
the Doc Camp for any listed individuals and part or complete travel costs
for each can be applied for (if applicable)."

If I have understood this correctly the application would be most
appropriate to come from the "free software project" i.e. the Xerte project,
rather than from individuals. If this is the case then I guess what you
would then be looking for are expressions of interest from members of the
developer community.

" part or complete travel costs for each can be applied for (if applicable).
"

This may be the bit that would benefit from clarification as there may be
people out there able and willing to help with this who would find it
difficult to commit to it if there was a risk of incurring significant
financial cost.

It sounds like a busy few days with a lot of hard work thrown in and a long
journey at each end, and well worth doing!

Kind regards

hi all...please apply for this!!!!!! calling all projects! and spread
the word  (projects do NOT have to be Google Summer of Code related)

Google Summer of Code in collaboration with Aspiration and FLOSS Manuals
is hosting a "Doc Sprint Camp" at Google's Mountain View headquarters
(California) Dec 3 - 7, 2012.

The 2012 Doc Camp will feature:

1) An unconference on free software documentation topics - facilitated
by Aspiration

2) 2-5 Book Sprints to produce books on free softwares - facilitated by
FLOSS Manuals

Building on the success of the 2011 GSoC Doc Camp we are proud to bring
you the 2012 GSoC Doc Camp. Like the previous event the 2012 GSoC Doc
Camp is a place for free software communities to meet, create a book for
their project, attract new people to their efforts, and share their
documentation experiences. The camp aims to improve free documentation
materials and skills in free software projects and individuals and help
form the identity of the emergent free documentation sector.

Individuals and projects can apply. Food and accommodation for all
individuals will be provided and travel support (full or partial) can
also be applied for.

Be a part of this exciting event - propose a Book Sprint on your
favorite free software or come and help others write a book on their
favorite project. Guaranteed to be a lot of fun, productive, and a
fantastic place to advance your documentation efforts and experiences.

For more information or to register to take part, please see

Please note proposals are due by October 26, so get yours in ASAP!

Cheers,
Carol Smith, Allen Gunn, Adam Hyde
