At https://t.co/h0S8uX210N. Thinking about the nature of OSS project leadership. At a BSD session: "Why This Open Source Project Has Endured" Lesson 1: "We have no benevolent dictators for life" - They've had leadership elections every year since 2000

I'm proud to announce that I'll be speaking at FOSSY, the Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference. I'll be presenting "The Business Case for Open Source Laptops" https://t.co/1mV7Qeuylq. Beyond tech writing, I've been an open source and Linux us… https://t.co/AiwXh7F47O

As I read @BradleyHolt's post on remote and distributed work ( https://t.co/IOV32f3LZ3), I thought about this statement from @darrenmurph https://t.co/H3KzQajNxz) ``` In the absence of a physical office (routine patches, to extend the analogy), I'm seeing… https://t.co/zxPKSJUN6w

I believe <b>Technical</b> Writing (TW) as a profession suffers from an inferiority complex. Many TWs defer excessively to what we call subject matter experts (SMEs). I've seen slides from past conferences that play into that complex. I love it when I s… https://t.co/Hr0Zva0Vq6

I attended my first STC summit earlier this month. After attending 9 Write the Docs conferences, it was time for a change. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll subdivide my lessons learned in the following areas: - Artificial Intelligence (including ChatGPT… https://t.co/qhTi5La0pC

At #stc2023. Day 1. Amazed at the depth of tech: - ChatGPT: substabtive use of APIs, LLMs (and SLMs) to add/process doc corpuses - Doc tests via scripts - CLI generation of PDFs (and HTML) with DITA - Python generated Info topology Writers who say that we can also be SMEs

Vraiment? cc @ForgeRock_FR "... dehumanizing “the” labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, ..."

Want to come to apidays Paris next week for free? I set up an API for that! Use Postman or curl to send a GET request to bitDOTly/apidaysparis2022code to get a code for a free ticket (replace DOT by a dot 😅). #api

I know, this is a week late... but here's some attitudes towards #contentDesign and #uxWriting (or #UIText, if you prefer)

Donation to @OregonHumane from @katie_the_dog. This trolley and ramp helped her. We hope they'll help another loving pup. Katie, I have faith that you're once again running fast, fetching balls, and catching cookies from your faves. I'll see you on the other side ❤️.

Hmm. Berlin airport opened a couple of years ago? We're running late on a bus from the gate, and i have a 75 min connection in Keflavik ...

Berlin. Many people, one line. Icelandair

I'm trying to pre-order the @google Pixel 7 on https://t.co/XnZScECiBn. I add to cart, and nothing gets added to my cart. Since I have a Google One subscription, I want the discount, so I'd rather not order it elsewhere.

My talk incorporates my experiences at @ForgeRock , @gitlab , and @cobalt_io I also have many people to thank for their help
