As a long-term user of both Apache web servers and OpenOffice, I feel
it's about time I contributed to the cause. So I would like to offer my
services as a technical author and editor.
In a career spanning 30 years in the field of Technical Communications
I have endeavored to become as good as I can be in what MIT define as ,
"the art and science of preparing information so that it can be used by
human beings with efficiency and effectiveness".
During this career I have been fortunate to have been involved in the
processing and presentation of information for some of the best
hardware and software teams in industries as diverse as
telecommunications, computer networks, data processing, pharmaceutical,
biotech, aerospace and financial software.
This experience has given me an extensive working knowledge of single-
source publishing, component content management, collaborative
authoring, and localization. In addition, through my studies for a
Masters in Online and Distance Learning at the Open University I have
gained extensive knowledge of Web, e-learning and social network
technologies and an understanding of the impact these technologies are
having on the Public and Corporate Education sectors, and the
opportunities for creative information products this presents.
My ambition is to use, and share with others, my knowledge and
expertise in the technologies, tools and methods for the production of
documentation and other technical information products. So now is my
chance.
