Acturus LinuxDog
Stephen Gutknecht will offer a presentation on recruiting Technical
Writers, Technical Editors, Documentation writers to Open
Source. Stephen Gutknecht is offering free loans of OpenWrt Linux
routers to writers willing to invest time in working on documentation,
Wiki, FAQ, forum posts, research, editing, etc for Open Source / Free
Software.
Stephen Gutknecht will be at the AustinLug meeting on January 28 at
6:30pm to kickoff this independent effort to organize writers in the
Austin area. Then at 7:30 or 8:00pm Stephen Gutknecht will offer a
AustinLUG technical presentation on the latest OpenWrt Linux on the
Atheros/ATH9K based hardware platforms (this is the one Stephen
Gutknecht is most familiar with, and the hardware Stephen Gutknecht is
offering out for the writers will be based on this. of course, other
platforms are welcome to participate).
Stephen Gutknecht has written up a general introduction to the
'recruiting writers' idea on a door64 blog entry:
http://door64.com/blog/n/14821 There is also a new Facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=252888318164 Please join if
you are a Facebook user and interested in supporting or participating
in this group. This is a new grass-roots effort, no sponsorship at
this time, and I'm open to suggestions or ideas.
Austin Linux Group currently meet each Thursday evening at 7:30PM in
the City of Austin Waller Creek Complex at 625 East 10th Street in
downtown Austin. Anyone with an interest in Linux and open source is
welcome to attend.
