Training "Documentation writing for non-writers"

Time and place: Friday, Aug 17th, 9:30 - 12:30 (preliminary time), Room 121

Trainer: Tanja Roth, professional documentation writer working at SUSE

You need to write technical documentation now and then? But you are not sure how to structure it, how to phrase your content, or how to best address your readers? This hands-on workshop shows you how to optimize texts to make them easier to understand (and translate).

Get to know universal principles that can also be applied to other texts types in software projects, like release notes, bug reports, error messages, or e-mails. In a practical exercise, we will analyze existing texts and fix their weak points.
