06-05, 15:20–16:10 (Europe/Madrid), Workshop
I realise that many people who are ready and competent to make useful, welcome improvements to Django's documentation hesitate. Often all they need to get them over that first bump is a bit of extra confidence, and the blessing of someone who seems to have some authority.
That's what I want to give, in a short and practical workshop.
For the Djangonauts Space initiative, I recently held an online workshop to help people understand what a welcome, good first contribution to Django's documentation could look like. I want to follow that up with something similar here.
I will support it by being at the sprints too, so that we can shepherd some actual contributions into the repository.
My workshop will not be about Git, or workflow, but about documentation content, and it will be very concrete and outcome-focused.

Documentation
Audience Level –Beginner
I am a Director of Engineering at Canonical, where I lead documentation practice. I enjoy helping organise community conferences for Python and Django. That includes multiple editions of DjangoCon Europe, as well as the first editions of PyCon Africa and DjangoCon Africa.
I also enjoy helping people and open-source projects improve their documentation.
