Hello Bay Area technical writers!
I'm thrilled to share that we're revamping the Write The Docs Bay Area meetup, & we're kicking things off with our first in-person event since February 2020! A huge thank you to our event sponsor, Mintlify, for providing the venue & generously offering food & beverages.
Let me know if you have any major allergens by emailing me at this address: purcellconsult [at] gmail [dot] com
Event Details:
Date: March 19th
Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM PST
Proposed Agenda:
7:00 - 7:15 PM: Networking & refreshments
7:15 - 8:15 PM: Lightning talks & community announcements
8:15 - 8:30 PM: Group discussions & networking
Updates on February 6th, 2025: We have two confirmed speakers for the lightening talks!
Talk title #1: My Favorite Derivatives
Description: This is a fun little etymology talk about my favorite Latin derivatives (English words that are derived from Latin). I give a tiny bit of background on Latin as a language, then move into my favorite derivatives, & what it is about their Latin roots that makes me see the English word differently.
Speaker: Lena Chervin
Talk title #2: Docs as Tests: No More Broken Docs
Description: Outdated docs break user trust, & drive users away. No one wants that. Docs as Tests treats documentation as literal assertions of product behavior to catch issues before your users do. Come learn about it!
Speaker: Manny Silva
Talk title #3: Scaling documentation at Waymo through sprints
Description: A short talk about how I used documentation sprints to scale documentation at Waymo, & how you can run a documentation sprint at your own organization.
Speaker: Jared Bhatti
Talk title #4: Should you add screenshots to documentation?
Description: Want to know whether to add screenshots to your documentation topic? I'll talk through the tradeoffs & considerations of including screenshots in documentation, especially for SaaS software products.
Speaker: Sarah Moir
