Sometimes, you have a skill, a desire to acquire a skill, maybe even an idea of how to use that skill to solve a problem or launch your career, but don't know where to start. For some people, that skill is documentation. If you're one such person, come to our talk. We'll introduce you to the Canonical Open Documentation Academy, one of the finest ways to start contributing to open-source software.

Open source has become commonplace, and participating as a contributor is both rewarding and useful. Without prior experience, documentation is a good way to get started in open source. This workshop invites attendees to start participating through the Open Documentation Academy, which makes first steps in open source easy.
