Documentation is often cited as a great way to get your feet wet with open source. So to demystify the world of technical writing, we have hosted four live events with our documentation team. Suze Shardlow, Developer Community Manager, sat down with Technical Writers Kaitlyn Michael, Rachel Elledge and Lance Leonard for a series of fireside chats.
