LIVE: STC INDIA ANNUAL CONFERENCE @ PUNE

Every year, it keeps on becoming the much awaited event for the technical communicators in India. Last year, it witnessed a surprising turnout of 300 writers in India' "Beach City"- Goa. This year, I am glad to be a part of the 10th Annual STC India Conference at Pune.

The buzz is tremendous with most of the writers, instructional designers, usability consultants & specialists waiting to network and share knowledge amongst the counterparts. I look forward to be a part of the show this time too, in the colors of Bangalore STC India City Representative. And,who knows, the following year, you may just see me as the STC India Secretary, touchwood. I am running for the STC India Elections 2008-09.

I have been a part of STC India activities for some time now, and have attended in the past attended Bangalore and Goa conference. This year, the conference expects a turnout of 300 people, and it would not be surprising if we get a few late registrations.

I would be presenting my first STC India Annual Conference presentation along with my friend, Saravanan Manoharan, senior writer with Mtree software, Noida. We will be presenting a topic on "WIKI BASED DOCUMENTATION USING JOOMLA".

I would be using this platform to regularly update on the conference activities as and when it happens. This idea was instigated to me by my fellow colleague Sreeraj Nair. Right now, am busy with preparing the presentation and trying hard to collate information on wikis and Joomla.

Folks, I'll try to update on the proceedings as and when it happens. Please bear with me if the wi-fi facilities do not work or I get lost in the beautiful locales of Pune.
