Writing Tips

writing

In this series of posts I’ve been discussing my opinion on various aspects of writing, including blogging, writing articles and whitepapers, or just writing documentation in your company. If anything more comes to mind I’ll write it and link it from this post.

Here are the posts that made up this series.

I’ll put a link to this post from the main website and from the blog toolbar.

Hope you enjoyed the series.

OpenWorld 2008 Summary…

This is the 3rd OpenWorld I’ve attended and I think it was probably the most enjoyable for me so far.

The first year I was more than a little overwhelmed and intimidated by everything. The scale of the event is hard to imagine and being surrounded by people who are at the top of their game is quite daunting. I wouldn’t say I was suffering from hero worship, but I did get the odd “we are not worthy” moment.

The second year I had a bit of a “been there, done that” attitude and I don’t think I really appreciated it as much as I should have done.

This year I think I found my groove and relaxed into things. It’s really cool to reconnect with people from previous years and meet new people.

Massive thanks to Victoria Lira and Lillian Buziak who I bugged incessantly about my travel arrangements for this trip. You are both worth your weight in gold. Big thanks to Justin Kestelyn and the OTN crew for making sure everything ran smoothly.

Cheers

PS. Doug, perhaps next year you will be 3rd on the list…
