Collaborating with OSS projects: OpenTelemetry Docs

Write the Docs Barcelona is partnering with Cloud Native Barcelona to bring you an in-person meetup. Join us at the offices of Factorial to learn how to collaborate with Open Source as Tech Writers.

📍 Location: Factorial - Carrer de Llacuna 56, building C, Barcelona | https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7

👉 Here's a sneak peek of the agenda:

18:30: Check-in and welcome 👋
18:45: 🎙️ "Collaborating in OSS projects: The OpenTelemetry Docs case study" by Anna Urbiztondo - Senior Technical Writer at Grafana Labs, Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti - Principal Technical Writer at Elastic.
This Write the Docs meets Cloud Native talk covers what makes open-source projects succeed in practice — clear focus, community ownership, organization, goodwill, and excellent communication in a fast-moving codebase.
OpenTelemetry Documentation is a perfect example because it encompasses new, state-of-the-art concepts and spans across multiple languages and vendors. Therefore, its docs must explain workflows, implementation scenarios, deployment tools, and APIs to both newcomers and seasoned users to guarantee adoption and success.
19:45 - 20:30: Networking, Snacks, and Drinks 🍻🍕

We appreciate Factorial's generosity in hosting us at their Barcelona office and to Grafana Labs for providing snacks & refreshments. Thank you so much 🙌

See you there! 👋
