Plan for April TAC presentation

All

• TechDocs is scheduled to present at the April TAC meeting (Tuesday, April 11)

• Prompts:

  • Something relevant to your subteam’s workplan, like workshopping an idea, getting feedback on a decision

  • Suggestions for TAC documentation/training

  • Simply to tell us what your subteam does! Walk us through a recent agenda, talk about a recent decision, peel back the curtain on your subteam!

• What should we talk about?

  • talk about challenges, what it means to be "rebuilding," creating documentation/resources so that you don't need to be a dev to use tech docs or to be an active/contributing member of the Tech Docs team, create more continuity within Tech Docs with our internal documentation

  • show a pull request in the repository to anchor the conversation and pull back the curtain - we could create a fake example if needed

  • Thanks Blake Carver for fixing a 404 error we found during the meeting!

Next meeting

April 5, 1pm EST – or cancel since the Virtual Forum is April 4-5?

• Rachel will send a poll to determine availability the week of March 27 so we can touch base again prior to the Forum and TAC meeting.
