TechWhirl: Technical Communication Recap for October 3, 2014

[TechWhirl Admin <admin -at- techwhirl -dot- com>]

Hereâs to winding up another week that could really use about 10 more work
hours just to get it all under control! Here at TechWhirl, weâre gearing up
for a busy season of conference-going; rehearsing for our next TechWhirl
Fast 5:Hitchhikers Guide to XML Authoring
<http://techwhirl.com/event/techwhirl-fast-5-hitchhikers-guide-xml-authoring/>;
monitoring the very interesting discussions happening on the email
discussion list
<http://www.techwr-l.com/frequently-asked-questions.html#subscribe> and
community forum
<http://community.techwhirl.com/entry/register?Target=categories>; and
continuing to plan and publish content designed to intrigue and educate an
ever-growing group of content professionals. Interested in eLearning,
structured authoring, video scripting, organizing documents, or career
advice? Scout out the magazine and the discussion boards, and add your two
cents.



We donât know if you actually need encouragement to share your opinions (it
is something that Whirlers are famous for), but we hope that you will take
the time. Adobe, one of TechWhirlâs longstanding and largest sponsors has
opened their 2014 Tech Comm survey. The good folks of Adobe really do
listen to the feedback they get, so hereâs your chance to influence the
direction of Adobe Tech Comm products â oh and to win some cool prizes:

Just two more weeks to compose that real like tech comm horror story (or
the fake ones that seem real). We want your submission for the 2014 Tech
Comm Halloween Horror Festival by October 17.



Have a great weekend!
