+# Google Season of Docs 2024 - Redocly proposal
+
+[Google Season of Docs](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs) provides support for open-source projects to improve their documentation and gives professional technical writers an opportunity to gain experience in open source.
+Together we raise awareness of open source, of docs, and of technical writing.
+
+Redocly is applying to participate in Google Season of Docs 2024.
+
+## About Redocly
+
+[Redocly](https://redocly.com/) was founded in 2017 with the mission to get more consumers using APIs with less hands-on support.
+We were born out of [Redoc](https://redocly.com/docs/redoc/), the popular open-source OpenAPI documentation software project used by thousands of companies worldwide.
+We make API design and documentation software with the goal to accelerate API ubiquity.
+Our suite of products makes our customers’ APIs more accessible and loved by their end users and consumers.
+
+## How to apply
+
+We are glad you are interested in contributing to Redocly's open source project documentation.
+Please send your [statement of interest](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-statement) to [gsod@redocly.com](mailto:gsod@redocly.com) by April 26th.
+
+Be sure to review the skills needed for each project and include references to your abilities in these areas in particular.
+
+You also need to be able to meet remotely within the US East Coast and EU time zones.

+## Project ideas
+
+Our open-source tools allow developer teams to create clean, accessible documentation to complement their APIs.
+By making sure that the project documentation is complete, accurate, and up-to-date, community contributors can add immense value to our open-source projects.
+
+The following are the open source projects we would like some help with:
+
+- [Redocly CLI](https://github.com/Redocly/redocly-cli): Redocly CLI is an open source command-line tool for working with OpenAPI descriptions, developer portals, and other API lifecycle operations including API linting, enhancement, and bundling.
+- [OpenAPI starter](https://github.com/Redocly/openapi-starter): OpenAPI starter is a template repository that you can use to start your own OpenAPI project.
+
+To contribute to or discuss the project ideas, create a GSOD project ideas issue on the [redocly-cli repo](https://github.com/Redocly/redocly-cli/tree/main) in GitHub.
+
