I’ll be at DocTrain West in Vancouver next Tuesday-Friday moderating the Meet the Bloggers session as well as co-presenting Wiki Roundtripping? Structured Authoring? How Do They Co-Exist? with Stewart Mader.
I just put the finishing touches on our Wiki Roundtripping presentation and I have to admit I’m a little excited about it. While much of the focus will be on the DITA-Wiki Hybrid scenarios, there are at least two new scenarios that I’ve learned about since writing that white paper that we’ll bring to the presentation.
The Meet the Bloggers session is apparently going to be popular, so I hope I can pull off the moderator role effectively. I’m no Oprah, but I do come from Cincinnati where Jerry Springer was once mayor. This session will be fun and I expect to learn from Tom Johnson, Scott Abel, Darren Barefoot, Scott Nesbitt, and Aaron Davis.
Plus, I’m excited for the Unconference sessions Wednesday night. Completely experimental, but this conference seems like a great place to try out some different ways of sharing information off-the-cuff and informally.
Edited to add: Alan Porter was even inspired to update the Wikipedia entry for unconference to add a definition. That addition is very useful. Way to go Alan!
