The below is from the Washington DC Chapter, posted at their request.
The Washington DC Chapter is presenting a webinar Monday 22 February, from 7:00-8:30 PM EST (GMT-5). The speakers are Annette Reilly and George Hayhoe, both Fellows, and they will be speaking about the ISO standard for user documentation. For more information and to register, click here. The description from their website:
For the first time, international standards from the International Standards Organization (ISO) provide unified requirements for those who design, develop, review, or test user documentation. These standards, largely developed by STC members, give a common framework for the structure, content, and format of user documentation in any media. Learn how you can effectively apply user documentation standards in both large and small organizations. This webinar is presented by the co-editors of ISO/IEC 26514:2008, Systems and software engineering —Requirements for designers and developers of user documentation.
NEW INFO: The chapter will be recording the webinar to make it available to people in other time zones and at other times. You can register and pay for the webinar even if you know you cannot attend live. All registered attendees will receive a URL to the recording within an hour of the end of the webinar.[/NEW INFO]
And don’t forget the chapter’s Awards Celebration on 13 March, complete with a presentation on social media featuring Curtis “Bob” Burns, manager of the Transportation Security Administration’s blog.
