On call for proposals, ‘Write The Docs Atlantic’ virtual conference could be a nice opportunity to raise awareness on the Fedora project’s process, culture, people, and the Website revamp.
The Write The Docs conference has a wide variety of topics and had presenters from education, government, scientist, publishers, designers, developers, technical writers and so on. I thought a cross-team initiative could bring us maximum exposure to potential contributors.
