TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Touchstone, the STC Northern California Technical Communication Competition,
needs judges. You need not be a member of STC. If you meet two of the
following criteria, you qualify.
* You have five years experience as a technical communicator,
in a senior writing or management position.
* You are respected and well known in the field of technical
communication.
* You are the winner of an award in a similar technical
publications competition -- not necessarily sponsored by
STC.
* You have taught courses or given presentations in the
field of technical communication.
* You have published papers or articles in the field of
technical communication.
In addition, you need to be able to attend two meetings -- one on Saturday,
October 12th and one at a time you arrange with your judging team.
We also still have lead judging positions available for people with previous
judging experience.
Judging is real work. Don't volunteer if you're not willing to put in the
time -- a total of around two days. You spend those days studying and
comparing works your peers are proud enough of to submit. Few thing can
repay your time as well as that.
But it's not just serious effort. Working closely with a judging partner and
a team of judges can be a lot of fun, too.
If you have trouble using them, please send email to hotline -at- stc -dot- org, and a
volunteer will help you.
Please participate in this important professional activity.
Thanks. ...RM
