I presented at the Everything Open 2023 conference in Melbourne. My talk was called Boost your project’s trust signals with great docs!

I work at Open Strategy Partners, where trust plays a big part in how we communicate.

After my talk, the questions and discussion that arose from the audience showed that there was a big interest in docs and tech writing, and their associated challenges like:

• too many docs
• not enough docs
• where to publish the docs
• working with tech contributors
• the loneliness of lone writers.

Overall, it was a friendly, welcoming, professional event, with a wonderful organizing committee and supportive tech staff. The live streaming went off without a hitch! Really cool.
