Hi Nancy-->

> General question:  What is SIGDOC?

SIGDOC is a 300 member plus special interest group of the Association for
Computing Machinery (Special Interest Group for Systems Documentation)
that held it's last conference in Waterloo, Canada, and the conference
before in Ottawa, Canada. It's an interesting, engaging group of folks,
for sure. Contact the ACM for membership information. Many of the folks in
the STC show up to their meetings.

Looking forward to seeing you at next year's conference, Brad.
