Hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to share a fun idea that could make our Friday Documentation Academy even more awesome.
What if we set up a “Call for Proposals” process to invite external open-source contributors to join in? This way, people outside our team can share their ideas and lead discussions on topics they’re passionate about. I think it would really spice things up and bring in fresh perspectives!
Opening up the Academy like this could help us strengthen our community and inspire more folks to get involved with Ubuntu. What do you think?
Hi everyone! First of all, I don’t have any previous experience in documentation, but I’m interested in learning and hopefully working in the field. I’ve been working as translator for over 15 years, I have a master’s degree in translation and new technologies (software and multimedia products), and I also studied IT at university for 3 years (then dropped out). I think I can combine my training as a linguist with my interest in IT and, why not, pursue a career as a technical author. I’ve been checking this academy and I have to say I’m a bit overwhelmed with so much information and quite lost, to be honest. I’d appreciate any advice on how to get started in this industry so I can make my contribution in the (near) future. Thank you everyone
I love writing/reading documentation and I would love to help in any way the open source community. I have a master degree in engineering and experience as a technical author. I was responsible for the internal documentation of my IT team and the documentation that was available for our customers.
I want to take the time to grow my documentation skills and help open-source projects.
I will happily join your next Open Documentation session on Friday!
