[FM Discuss] open source documentation, in my home town

[Anne Gentle]

Hi all -

Who knew that my experiences collaborating with open source writers halfway
around the world would result in a job opportunity right down the road in
Texas? I'm in my first week as the OpenStack Technical Writer at Rackspace
and very excited to have landed this role. My experiences with the FLOSS
Manuals community were a great preparation for the role. And I owe so much
thanks - Janet Swisher's updates and connections led me to apply for the
job. Adam Hyde's recommendation bumped me up in the candidate list. My
hands-on apprenticeship in open source documentation has turned into an
opportunity to do what I am passionate about - community documentation.

You can read more about my new role in my introductory blog post at
http://openstack.org/blog/2010/09/content-stacker-reporting-for-duty/.

I just want to express my appreciation for this community and the training
I've received here to get ready for this type of job. FLOSS Manuals is a
great group of writers, editors, collaborators, and open source advocates.
Thanks everybody.

Warmly,
Anne
