<br>
I'd like to introduce you to Felicity Brand, a technical writer who <br>
lives in Melbourne, Australia. She is interested in participating in <br>
SeasonOfDocs and learning about Open Source practices. She expects to <br>
have some spare time to get involved as a volunteer, but not enough to <br>
take on the leading role we are looking for in the paid writer. (She is <br>
also juggling being a mother and contracting on the side.)<br>
<br>
I've suggested she might want to look at reviewing all our OSGeoLive <br>
Quickstarts (and maybe Project Overviews) from a tech writer's <br>
perspective, with eye to bring a greater level of maturity and <br>
consistency between these Quickstarts, and maybe improve the templates <br>
we are using along the way. This could be a stepping stone into helping <br>
mentor techies from each project to keep their Quickstarts up to date, <br>
and helping techies write new Quickstarts.<br>
<br>
