Forum 95 - International Conference on Technical Communication

[Alexander von Obert <a -dot- v -dot- obert -at- MSN -dot- SUB -dot- ORG>]

Hello,


as you might have read, there will be an international conference
about technical communication held in Germany on November 13-15 this
year. Forum 95 is organized by four members if INTECOM: IEEE/PCS of
North America, ISTC in the United Kingdom, STIC/QTD in The Netherlands
and tekom of Germany. I have been a member of tekom since 1983.

Recently, a WWW page was set up at URL
http://www.let.ruu.nl/CLC/forum/forum.htm

There you find lots of information about Forum 95, from the
preliminary program (80+ "activators" with even more papers) to a
registration form.

I will supplement these activities on my own:

- When my Forum 95 papers are finished, I will set up a Forum 95
  mailing list. You can get up-to-date information, when you send
  an empty e-mail to info -at- twh -dot- msn -dot- sub -dot- org -dot- 

- I will offer parts of my Forum 95 paper here for discussion:
  "A Writer-Programmer Interface". I will try to develop a check
  list to define the basics of writer and programmer cooperation
  when writing context-sensitive online documentation. Forum 95
  is about interaction and not about "Look, How Great I Am". So,
  I will not present a completed paper, but a framework where
  you can add your own experience.

More to come...


Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
