Hello there,
I'm new to the project, and I'd like to help out with documentation. I'm a
Seattle-area freelance writer who focuses on tech topics. I used to work
for Amazon.com (for nearly 11 years!) until last year—as a software
developer. Though I mostly coded, I also wrote the technical and functional
specifications for the projects I was involved in. Also I once prepared and
ran a recorded brown bag with 50 attendees (in person and online) with less
than 24 hours notice.
(I think I could do that again.)
My earliest contribution to free documentation was an ePub tutorial written
in 2007, detailing how to create standards-compliant ebooks in the ePub
format by hand, since tools like Sigil weren't available at the time.

Everything else before and since then has been under NDA.
My software engineering background gives me the capability of additionally
taking on tasks for writing documentation geared towards developers. In
addition I have the writing and mentoring skills to write end-user
documentation, tutorials, and guides. (I used to be a head TA for UIUC's
Programming Languages and Compilers class, though that was many moons ago
indeed.)
Can someone open an account on the ODFAuthors site for me?
Thanks!
