Hello there, I'm new to the project, and I'd like to help out with documentation. I'm a Seattle-area freelance writer who focuses on tech topics. I used to work for Amazon.com (for nearly 11 years!) until last year—as a software developer. Though I mostly coded, I also wrote the technical and functional specifications for the projects I was involved in. Also I once prepared and ran a recorded brown bag with 50 attendees (in person and online) with less than 24 hours notice.
(I think I could do that again.) My earliest contribution to free documentation was an ePub tutorial written in 2007, detailing how to create standards-compliant ebooks in the ePub format by hand, since tools like Sigil weren't available at the time. https://sites.google.com/site/spontaneousderivation/an-epub-tutorial Everything else before and since then has been under NDA. My software engineering background gives me the capability of additionally taking on tasks for writing documentation geared towards developers. In addition I have the writing and mentoring skills to write end-user documentation, tutorials, and guides. (I used to be a head TA for UIUC's Programming Languages and Compilers class, though that was many moons ago indeed.) Can someone open an account on the ODFAuthors site for me?
