I have spoken at and reported on hundreds of events around the world.

All things open

Sunday, 17 October 2021

online

The discussions on what constitutes negative, biased, and diverse language continue in many open source communities, often sparking heated, and strongly-opinionated debate. But if you have decided what language you want to increase, decrease, or change in your community, how do you enforce and track those changes? In this presentation I look at how to use the open source language linter tool, Vale, to check text (in supported locations and formats) for rules and styles you define. I start with showing how to setup and configure the tool, and then how to use existing rule sets, or create your own. Finally I show how you can track progress during initial language overhauls, and how to track violations moving forward.

APIDays

Monday, 7 December 2020

online

API documentation can originate from many sources, and take many forms, so how do you ensure that the content is accurate and crucially, works? In this presentation Chris looks at options for testing, standardising, and checking your API documentation is as good as your API.

Write the Docs

Thursday, 3 December 2020

online

User experience has been a fundamental part of modern products for some time, but for tools aimed at developers, there is a growing focus on "developer experience" (DX, DevEx). Documentation is a key component of developer experience. As people with an eye on making sense out of technical complexity, documentarians should feel qualified and empowered to improve more than just documentation.
