Hi,
I need to receive the author designation so that I can submit some
reviews that I worked on over this weekend. The style, template, and
writer guides were a tad dated, so I removed some deadwood, added
current URLs, and copyedited their grammatical and formatting
/features /so that they now agree more with my preferences. My two
user names: *Detroit *and *SWDetroit*.
Hi Gary, Welcome!
I see Jean has given you author status. I will take a look at your
changes soon.
I'm a contract technical editor/writer (currently between contracts)
and have recently come off a 6-month, full-time gig at the Motorola
spinoff--Freescale Semiconductor. As a telecommuter living in Detroit,
I mostly worked on assembler and compiler user guides for both their
8- and 16-bit families of embedded microcontrollers.
I contracted for 22 months at Freescale, when it was still part of
Motorola, in the Wireless and Mobile Systems Division. Which division
were you working in? Just curious.
Have you worked on other open source documentation projects? What led
you to pick OOo to work on? I am leading a progression topic at this
year's STC conference on "Documenting Open Source Software" -- so I'm on
the lookout for TWs who have done this, to use as examples.
Cheers,
