UPDATE: I just made contact with the coordinator of the "2013 Doc Camp Call for Proposals".
• We just missed the August 7 deadline. Can we still sneak in?
--> Yes, if we hurry.
• Do they insist on people showing up for the full five days?
--> Yes, you must commit to all 5 days. (October 14-18, 2013)
The first two days discuss doc strategies, and has proven very valuable to the teams.
• Might we pick up individual volunteers at the event?
--> Yes.
They have two types of application, Individual and Project. The individuals may "shop around" to volunteer with any of
thedeclared projects.
• How many people?
--> We may nominate up to 5 people.
• Cost?
--> Accommodation and food costs - Free.
--> Travel - Part or complete travel costs may be covered, as requested in our application. Also, Josh Berkus said on
thisthread that community funds may be able to cover airfare costs.
• When?
--> Five days: October 14-18, 2013 (Monday-Friday)
• Where?
--> Google's Mountain View headquarters in California.
• More info?

I'm very excited by this opportunity to make a breakthrough on some newbie/introduction/orientation/installation doc. I
mighteven go it alone, but the synergy and productivity would be so much greater with at least one or two other team
members.
I am willing to coordinate the team and write the proposal (answer a series of questions given to me by the Doc Camp
coordinator),unless Josh Berkus or someone else wants to lead the way.
