What we’re about
A peer to peer meet-up for documentarians. If you care about helping your readers have an awesome experience when they finally do read the docs, this meetup is for you. If you want to meet with other people that have chosen this path in the Amsterdam area, to share war stories or to get inspired, come and join us on one of our meetups. This meetup was inspired by the Write the Docs movement, please visit: www.writethedocs.org for more information.
The Write The Docs Amsterdam meetup is highly inclusive. Anyone with an interest in technology, communication, documentation and users experience is welcome. This can include programmers, tech writers, analysts, customer support folks, and marketeers.. If you have a suggestion for future discussion topics, or would like to make a presentation, please contact the group organisers.
Write the Docs is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund (if applicable) at the discretion of the event organizers. You can find our CoC at the Write the Docs website.
We try to record and then publish the presentations/talks so those unable to attend can also benefit. Please take note that by attending you agree to this.

It's just after apidays Amsterdam, so there may be some chitchat about APIs and docs. 😁

We'll interact old-school:- In person
- Face-to-face
- Moving our mouths
- Displacing air
- Producing sounds (at reasonable volume). 🗣️ 💬

SCHEDULE
Show up, grab a drink or something to munch on, swing by the table where we're sitting. Join the conversation, or just listen, or space out. Really, no strings attached.
I'll do my best to remember to bring with me a Write The Docs tote bag that I'll use as a marker to spot us more easily.
