24 Jul 09: New job, shift in focus
This week I started a new job at a different company. As a result, you may see a shift in the topics I find to talk about on this blog. Probably less Python, more DITA. Of course, I'm still involved in FLOSS Manuals, Writing Open Source, and other things related to open source documentation. I will not be, and never have been, speaking officially on behalf of my employer. As ever, this is just me, talking about stuff I find interesting.

10 Oct 08: STC seeks feedback on Tech Comm Body of Knowledge
The STC task force that is charged with compiling a "Body of Knowledge" on Technical Communication is seeking feedback on the first phase of their efforts. They have created a draft portal map and 14 personas of people who may be interested in this information. There is a separate feedback survey for the map and the personas. You must be an STC member to participate, as the information is in the members-only area of the website. However, if you are an STC member, I encourage you to set aside some time to review the information and fill out the surveys. This effort needs and deserves serious consideration from STC members to make it a success.
