Greetings

I am interested in participating in GSoD 2019 and more specifically I am
interested in working on the project of impooving the Introductory Tutorial
for beginners PostgreSQL and in databases. I have a practical and
theoretical backround in PostgreSQL due to previous work. Thus I am not in
lack of prior knowledge which is needed. Besides, I am about to get my
degree as an Electrical and Computer Engineer in a while. On the other hand
I am a starter in the field of Technical Writing but I am willing to engage
with this profession. For this reason I consider GSoD and this project idea
a great opportunity for me. Do you think is a good idea for me to work on a
proposal since I am a starter Technical Writer? I am looking forward for
your opinion.

Thank you in advance. Regards.

This is covered here, I believe:

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/

Specifically:

"Technical writers are technical writers worldwide who’re accepted to
take part in this year’s Season of Docs. Applicants should be able to
demonstrate prior technical writing experience by submitting role
descriptions and work samples. See the technical writer guide and
responsibilities."

This program isn't intended, as I understand the above to say, as a
starter for technical writers. I recommend you ask Google directly
regarding your interest in the program.

Thanks,
