→Fame, Fortune, and Technical Writing by:Dru Lavigne
Dru Lavigne broke down her talk into Recognition, Inspiration, Publishing, and Earning Money.
''Recognition''
In order to get recognized you have to get your work and name out there through; blogs, book reviews, articles, and How To's. Don't wait until your work is perfect before publishing it on the web, if you do the topic might not be interesting or popular anymore. If you want to be a perfectionist, focus your efforts on making sure your grammar and spelling is flawless, even in your personal blog's. Most importantly, '''do your research'''. The information you post must be credible.
''Inspiration''
Write about whatever interests you. There are many things that Open Source projects need like; documentation team members and leaders, man pages, tutorial, and guides for newcomers. You can also write articles and news in mainstream publications, write papers, brochures, and critique artwork or web content. Sometimes you have to change-it-up to get creativity flowing.
