OpenUK London #25: Documentation (In-Person signups only)

Wednesday 18th June for our next meetup. Since docs are essential to open source success, this month, we have a Collab with our friends at the Write The Docs London Meetup!

This meetup will be all about the thing likely most lacking but important for your open source project to be found and to engage people from all walks in using your project -- DOCS! How can you ensure you have good documentation? How can you translate to other languages? Can GenAI help or hinder your Docs? Any open source tools that help?

6:30 pm: Arrive on time, grab a bev, a slice and a chat. Scope out our swag table (bring pieces to contribute or trade!)
6:50 pm: Welcome, code of conduct and warmup
7:00 pm: Blessing Ene Anyebe on Building a Documentation Culture in Open Source Communities, joining us remotely from Nigeria
7:30 pm: Hanku Lee, asking Where has documentation automation gotten us? Including open source projects: Fedora, Rocky Linux (localization), Ubuntu docs (localization team), and Hugo Paige, joining us remotely from South Korea
8:00 pm: Our meetup co-host Jennifer Riggins will run a workshop on engaging, readable (by humans and Google documentation) -- feel free to nominate your doc to talk about!

8:45 pm: Clean up and leave.

This remains an interactive Hybrid event, however, the meetup invites are split up and RSVPs for in-person are opened three weeks out. Please only sign up for this event if you can definitely attend in person. We welcome everyone sign up for the online version even as a save the date!
