I am looking forward to attending WebWorks RoundUp 09 next month (Oct. 19-21, 2009) in Austin, TX. I will be participating in a panel titled, “Content Development Best Practices” with Alan J. Porter, Berry Braster, and Paul Mueller, fast company indeed.
XML Press is partnering with WebWorks to provide complementary copies of Anne Gentle’s Conversation and Community: The Social Web for Documentation and my Managing Writers: A Real-World Guide to Managing Technical Documentation for attendees. XML Press will also be giving away a copy of Alan Porter’s forthcoming book, WIKI: Grow Your Own for Fun and Profit. Plus, we will have an XML Press booth with information about our upcoming releases, book signings, and other goodies.
Overall, it looks like a great conference both for ePublisher users and anyone interested in the latest trends in technical communication and publishing. There will be keynotes by WebWorks execs Tony McDow and Alan Porter, featured talks by Stewart Mader and Tom Johnson, and panels with several groups of industry exporters. XML Press authors Anne Gentle and Alan Porter will both be speaking, and Anne and I will be available to sign our books.
Hallo Richard
The WebWorks Round Up conference looks and sounds awesome. I wish I could be there. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying out WebWorks ePublisher, particularly for converting Word and DITA documents to Confluence wiki pages. Very impressive. Have a good conference!
