Insufficient\, inc orrect\, non-existent\, hard to find\, and difficult to update are thing s we typically all hear. There are a lot of different ways to tackle the se problems. There's no silver bullet but one of my favorite tactics is lowering the barriers for absolutely anyone to contribute documentation. \;\n \;\n \;\nIdeally\, lowering the barriers means: \;\n&# 13\;\n \;\n* using a common and well understood documentation markup language \;\n \;\n* using documentation editors that are commonly available \;\n \;\n* not requiring your contributors to install an d configure tools \;\n \;\n* providing a preview of the updates to make reviews reviews easier \;\n \;\n \;\nLearn how Apache jcl ouds has enabled walkup contributions to our project documentation.

We'll meet again on Tuesd ay June 9\, when Diana Potter\, the Senior Director of Customer Success at Customer.io tells us when to say: "\;Don't Write The Docs"\;. \;\n \;\nWhen I started working as a Technical Writer\, our local VP told me that to do my job well\, I'd spend significant time testing and pushing for changes to our software. To me\, that sounds like the es sence of Diana's talk. \;\n \;\n \;\nDiana manages Customer.io' s support/docs team. As such\, I expect that her talk will interest Docu mentarians\, Support Engineers\, and Knowledge Base Creators. Here is th e abstract of her talk: \;\n \;\n************ \;\n \;\n \ ;\nWriting user facing documentation gives you a unique perspective on s oftware. How does something work? Will the software explode when I push this button? Okay\, now how do you explain that explosion to a user\, in a way that makes sense and captures their attention? \;\n \;\nWha t do you do\, though\, when that unique perspective illustrates areas of confusion? Why document something that's confusing? Fix the confusion!& #13\;\n \;\nWrite the docs that make sense for the *user* and advocat e for product changes on behalf of the "\;user"\; too. \;\n&# 13\;\nHow do you decide when it makes sense to document\, and when it ma kes sense to dig in your heels and push for an internal change to the pr oduct? How can you use documentation to push for change? Come learn what I've learned\, the processes I've put in place\, and learn the followin g chant: "\;does this doc make sense?"\;\n\nTags: writing\, docu mentation\, support\, write the docs\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250468360 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Write-The-Docs-PDX/events/222151324/ SUMMARY:Counterpoint: Don't Write The Docs LOCATION:New Relic: 111 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 2700\, Portland Oregon 9720 4 United States SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150928T205841Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150930T110000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150930T100000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150928T205841Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150928T205841Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469130 DESCRIPTION:Hello! \;\nsildenafil \, tadalafil \, \n\nTags: business\, knowledge management\, documentation\n\nImported from: http://calagator .org/events/1250469130 URL:http://10sildenafilonline.com/ SUMMARY:sildenafil LOCATION:Webinar: false SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160727T210200Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160803T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160803T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160727T210200Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160727T210200Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470615 DESCRIPTION: \;\n \;\nThere will be 2 talks this month! \;\n \;\nRustdoc for Everyone: \;\n \;\nYou don't have to be a great wr iter to create great documentation. There are simple techniques and rule s you can follow to build documentation for your users. Rust ships with documentation tools\, but not all crates take advantage of them. Documen tation is the first way that developers interact with your code - great documentation sets your crates apart\, helps users skip easy questions\, and cuts down on bug reports. In this talk\, we will explore techniques for writing great documentation. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Jeremiah Peschk a has been breaking software since 2000 - he's been told this sounds imp ressive\, but he thinks it might just make him feel old. He blogs over a t http://facility9.com and can be found on twitter and IRC as peschkaj. When Jeremiah isn't working with databases and Rust\, he can be found pl aying video games\, hanging out at food trucks\, or napping at home. \;\n \;\n \;\nBridging Ruby and Rust: \;\n \;\nRuby is not t he fastest language in the world\, there is no doubt about it. This does n't turn out to matter all that much – Ruby and its ecosystem has so muc h to offer\, making it a worthwhile tradeoff a lot of the times. \;\n \;\n \;\nHowever\, you might occasionally encounter workloads tha t are simply not suitable for Ruby. This is especially true for framewor ks like Rails\, where the overhead wants to be as little as possible. 3\;\n \;\n \;\nIn this talk\, we will explore building a native Ru by extension with Rust to speed up parts of Rails. What does Rust have t o offer here over plain-old C? What kind of challenges would you run int o when briding a dynamic langauge like Ruby with Rust? Let's find out!&# 13\;\n \;\nSpeaker Godfrey Chan is a member of the Rails core team an d a co-author of Helix\, a toolkit for implementing Ruby classes in Rust . He works at Tilde Inc\, splitting his time between building Skylight a nd open-source consulting. \;\n \;\nOther Information: \;\n \;\nPDXRust meets on the first Wednesday of every month\, from 6-8pm\, a t Mozilla's Portland space. The first hour is either lightning talks fro m group members or a more in-depth tutorial from a Rust expert\, and the second hour is hacking and social time. \;\n \;\nJoin us in #pdxr ust on irc.freenode.net (http://webchat.freenode.net/) with any feedback about what you'd like to see! \;\n \;\nRemember that Rust's Code of Conduct defines the Rust community's expectations for participation.\ n\nTags: rust\, rustlang\, documentation\, ruby\, free\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250470615 URL:http://www.meetup.com/PDXRust/events/230908090/ SUMMARY:PDXRust: RustDoc For Everyone\, and Bridging Ruby And Rust LOCATION:Mozilla: 1120 NW Couch St.\, Suite 320\, Portland Oregon 97209 U S SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170106T205634Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170208T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170208T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170106T205634Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260513T005352Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471292 DESCRIPTION:NOTE: We'll be in New Relic's newest meeting room\, on the 27 th floor The Write The Docs NA conference returns to Portland in May\, a nd the deadline for proposals is February 10 (midnight PST).

The solution is complex\, as the Waco m system includes interrelationships between 150+ topics across over 30 products and 14 languages.

These events offer network ing opportunities\, access to Subject Matter Experts\, and impetus to pu rsue novel solutions to work conundrums. The annual Write the Docs confe rences offer glimpses of what is possible in my work environment. After Write the Docs NA 2017 event\, I initiated several new projects/processe s to elevate the state of internal communication\, raise awareness for c ustomer-facing documents\, and organize tech communication community at work. The initial results have been encouraging. We’ll explore how ideas from past and present Write the Docs events have acted as catalysts to overcome challenges and obstacles. We’ll also discuss why the conference is relevant for tech writers\, regardless of their industry affiliation s. \n\n\nBio Mo Nishiyama is a Technical Writer at Oregon Health &\; Science University’s Information Technology Group.
