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.

The best human achievements are team efforts. How do you kno w if your teams are healthy? It’s a complex problem\, with no easy answe rs. Two years into a seemingly successful agile transformation at New Re lic\, we found ourselves wondering how well our teams had taken to the n ew system\, and didn’t really know. We knew that execution was much impr oved. What we didn’t know was why. Did our leadership all magically turn into serious taskmasters? Did our engineers seriously level up? Did our product managers start making perfect decisions? In order to find out\, we crafted a set of team health standards\, conducted a facilitated sel f-assessment with each team\, and then asked each team to put together a plan to improve their health. We learned a lot along the way\, about ho w to understand team health\, and also about the shape\, function\, and dysfunction within our org. In this talk we will share our journey\, hel p you understand how to create psychological safety around a team health assessment\, and show the kinds of things that we learned about the org . We will examine the project from a high-level project flow perspective \, from an organizational change perspective\, and share one team’s expe riences on the ground. --Doors will open at 5:30 for networking with lig ht food and drink before the program starts at 6pm. The program will con clude with a Q&\;A around 7:00pm.--About our presenters: Brent Miller :Brent is a botanist turned engineer turned agilist\, whose work is now at the center of the spicy Venn diagram of humans\, technology\, and org anizational design. He enjoys systems thinking and continuous improvemen t\, and somehow continuously improved himself into his current career. H e lives in Portland with his wife and two kitties. Honey Darling:Honey h as built strong teams in a number of companies. She's a thoughtful leade r: results-focused\, calm and directed\, and someone who builds teams th at work together in the same direction. She is passionate about technolo gy and people\, and especially the intersection between the two.

Wh en looking at open source packages\, how do you decide what to incorpora te and what to leave behind? Ultimately\, your goal is to minimize your company and your teams' exposure to risk. “Minimizing risk” doesn't mean analyzing every line of code\, but does involve evaluating a project's community. Can you trust them to do work at the quality that you can fee l comfortable with in your releases? Are they doing proactive security w ork and fixing bugs quickly? Miki has worked for the Open Source Technol ogy Center at Intel for 5 years\, and is an expert on open source commun ities. You'll walk away with a better understanding of how to choose ope n source libraries for your projects. Come prepared with:* Laptop/Comput er* IDE of your choice* Git/GitHub or GitLab.

We hear from a lot of people we talk to that they're not sure whether they're interested in a job in the tech f ield\, because they don't know enough about it. Sometimes\, they've even been told that "\;programming is hard to learn"\;. At The Tech Academy\, we work hard to break down the barriers between people and tec hnology. We think that\, with the right approach\, anyone can learn to c ode - and whether you end up working in technology or not\, the principl es behind coding are useful in a lot of areas. The Tech Academy is offer ing a free course providing an introduction to Python. Python is a popul ar programming language for general-purpose programming. It is particula rly easy to learn fo those new to coding. This course is perfect for peo ple with little to no experience in programming who are curious about a career in software development. In this practical\, hands-on class\, you 'll learn the basics of this popular computer language - and along the w ay\, you should find out for yourself whether technology and coding are something worth looking into a bit more deeply. The Instructor:Erik Gros s is the co-founder of The Tech Academy\, a software developer training school based in Portland\, OR. The Tech Academy has helped hundreds of g raduates to break into the technology field. Mr. Gross has been a workin g software developer and consultant for many years\, and has developed s imple\, clear methods for helping nontechnical people genuinely understa nd technical concepts. He brings an enthusiastic\, accessible teaching s tyle to an area of knowledge that all too often leaves people in the dar k.

There are countles s applications that can put meditation in the palm of your hand\, and al low a guru to live in your pocket. How is the technology that is suppose d to balance us throwing the rest of our life into imbalance? \;\n 3\;\nEnter mindfulness. A tenet of Eastern philosophies for centuries\, now it’s a comprehensive inclusion in the therapeutic arsenals of therap ist’s\, psychologist’s\, and psychiatrist’s toolkits. \;\n \;\nUsi ng mindfulness allows for awareness of the present moment through attent ion and non-judgement. But now\, mindfulness can be used as an accommoda tion. This talk will show how people with disabilities fuse with technol ogy and vice versa. This can be done as a great boon for a person’s ment al health and wellness. Mindfulness is essentially vigilance before acti ng. It prevents against impulsive actions\, and is a discipline of thoug ht. It’s like taking that extra step before you buy junk food at grocery store while you’re hungry and asking\, do I need this? But being mindfu l in technology design means a focus on the design that works for the pe rson in the moment. Our presentation will focus on how accessible design can accommodate mental health disabilities. Instead of impulsively choo sing accommodating or try to fit a square peg in a round hole\, it’s cha nging a way of thought. This presentation will be focused around user em powerment\, but also be a call to action for developers. Through case st udies that we will present with actual data and use feedback\, we’ll arg ue that being aware is crucial for technology\, especially accessibility . \;\n \;\nAbout Sharon Rosenblatt Sharon Rosenblatt is an accessi bility professional working to improve the overall experience by a user with disabilities. She has been a part of the Accessibility Partners tea m for the over eight years\, and specializes in document remediation and web compliance testing. Her efforts have enabled developers and manufac turers to see the tremendous potential that accessibility has not just f or users with disabilities\, but of all abilities. \;\n \;\nShe is a strong advocate for abolishing the stigma of mental health and resear ching accomodations in the workplace to support a mental health diagnosi s. With her enthusiasm highlighted in several publications like The Wall Street Journal\, The Washington Post\, Fast Company\, Information Week\ , CNN\, Mint.com\, and more\, Sharon enjoys participating in the constan t dialogue between accessibility and innovation.\n\nTags: meetup:event=2 59055719\, meetup:group=Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetu p\, web design\, technology\, accessibility\, user experience\, usabilit y\, accessible web design\, User Research\, universal design\, accessibl e technology\, mobile user experience\, inclusive design\, a11y\, wcag\, web accessibility\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475 128 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Mee tup/events/259055719/ SUMMARY:Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Mindful Design: Accessibility for Mental Health LOCATION:Cvent: 308 SW 2nd Ave\, Portland OR 97204 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190304T180025Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190312T160000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190312T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190304T180025Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190304T180025Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475185 DESCRIPTION:We run a code school.

Understanding how humans will react and engage with new and emerging platforms can be challenging\, particularly with smart and spatial computing. These types of experiences often depart from existin g mental models of human-machine interaction and are often tricky to pro totype. Traditional behavioral research methods often become less effect ive\, meaning researchers need to experiment with new ways to gather lea rning. Using examples from research into mixed and augmented reality exp eriences\, we will explore these hurdles and discuss techniques for gath ering insights when existing research methods prove inadequate. Join thi s session to hear about experimenting with user experience design resear ch techniques and how people interact with augmented and mixed reality e xperiences. About the Speaker Hannah drives technology innovation by res earching people\, behaviors and culture. She works with design\, develop ment\, product and business teams to help build products and experiences that people love. She has nearly 18 years’ experience in both research and design roles in the technology industry and an exciting 14 years spe nt working in the innovation labs of global technology leaders. Her care er has been focused on emerging platforms\, from early mobile computing and the Internet of things to augmented and virtual reality experiences. A background in film\, human-computer interaction and ergonomics prepar ed Hannah for experimenting with smart and spatial computing and her cur rent passion: reimagining the traditional screen-based design research s tudio. Hannah likes blank sheets of paper and big questions with no answ ers. https://chifoo.org/may-1-2019/ Meeting Details5:30 - 6:30: CHIFOOd and Registration: Please join us before the meeting to enjoy dinner and networking.

This event is geared towards helping women prepare for technical int erviews\, but we welcome everyone who supports our mission of inspiring women to excel in technology careers and follows our code of conduct. Th e goal of the workshop is to provide people with the opportunity to gain experience with a technical interview format. This workshop is broken i nto two sections:- Interview Best Practices- Mock Interviews &\; Whit eboarding In the morning\, we'll cover an introduction to solving algori thms. Participants will have the chance to see common interview algorith ms\, and approach how to solve them under pressure. In the afternoon\, w e will break into groups for mock interviews. This will help participant s get a feel for what a technical interview might be like. Whiteboarding can be much different than writing on paper\, especially in front of ot hers. Participants will have the chance to practice answers to common qu estions\, thinking out loud while solving a problem and practice techniq ues for how to move forward when stumped.

Making the shift to continuous accessibility leads to be tter outcomes across the board\, including improving the experience of d isabled users\, mitigating the risk of accessibility-related lawsuits\, improving brand reputation\, and even creating a positive return on inve stment (ROI). \;\n \;\nIn this talk we provide practical strategie s for embedding accessibility into daily routines and technical systems\ , demonstrating how to start small and scale over time. Key topics inclu de: \;\n \;\n* Establishing a repeatable accessibility routine and improving it over time. \;\n* The importance of data and metrics\, s uch as bug counts and time-to-resolution (TTR)\, to establish a baseline and measure progress. \;\n* Rallying cross-functional allies to driv e change (yes\, even without C-suite mandates). \;\n* Creating a unif ied system where human workflows and technical tools work in concert. 3\;\n \;\nA real world case study illustrates how the strategic appli cation of automated regression testing and clear bug prioritization led to a profound cultural shift where accessibility is treated like any oth er product quality concern. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas f or initiating and sustaining cultural change\, making the case for acces sibility as a core business principle. \;\n \;\n#### Agenda \;\ n \;\nThe event begins at 6 pm\; join early\, starting at 5:45 pm for networking. \;\n \;\n* 5:45–6:00pm Networking \;\n* 6:00–6:15p m Introductions and announcements \;\n* 6:15–6:45pm Presentation \ ;\n* 6:45–7:15pm Q&\;A and discussion \;\n \;\n#### About the p resenters \;\n \;\n[Devon Persing](https://dpersing.com/) is your neighbor to the north in Seattle\, WA.

Bu t it doesn't have to be. There's a minimum standard and an advanced appr oach. People who need alt text will appreciate you for the former and lo ve you for the latter. Alt text is also a whole lot more than the `alt` attribute. That's just one of the many ways to make content accessible. In fact\, there are a number of considerations for writing great alt tex t. \;\n \;\nIn this presentation\, Mark Wyner will help you unders tand the spectrum of options so you can take good care of your audience. We'll walk through implementation methods\, phonetics\, composition\, c omplex sources\, and tackling social media. \;\n \;\nLet’s give sc reen readers and other assistive technologies something to *talk* about. \;\n \;\n#### Agenda \;\n \;\nThe event begins at 6 pm\; jo in early\, starting at 5:45 pm for networking. \;\n \;\n* 5:45 Net working \;\n* 6:00 Introductions and announcements \;\n* 6:15 Pres entation \;\n* 6:45 Q&\;A and discussion \;\n \;\n#### About the presenter \;\n \;\n[Mark Wyner](https://markwyner.com/) is an autodidactic polymath with over two decades of experience in design and development.
