Helo every one, first of all I would like to thank every technical writer who picked up on the warm up practies for GSOD 2020. I also thank the team that is helping in the reviewing of the works. As we continue with that process,time has come for us to start preparing our applications for GSOD 2020. For this, I will request the technical writers to reach out to there mentors as per the project as seen here [https://wiki.openmrs.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=235275064](https://wiki.openmrs.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=235275064) , so as the process starts. Technical writers introduce your selves to the mentors and the project for which you intend to prepare the application for. In case of any difficulties, kindly reach out to to the documentation team for help and still the Documentation Team is to follow up on the whole process.Thanks @yash29x @vibhorchinda17 @chaytanya @saurabh @rainbow @jnsereko @favour @uthpala @kaveeshabaddage. The community and the Documentation Team will be ready to help out. cc @jennifer @jwnasambu @gracebish @loisnaki @sharif @gcliff @ayesh
