Welcome to our community!

Write the Docs is a global community of people who care about documentation. Our primary gathering places are:

• Our slack network with thousands of members
• Conferences on 3 continents
• Local meetups in over 40 cities

We consider everyone who cares about communication, documentation, and their users to be a member of our community. This can be programmers, tech writers, developer advocates, customer support, marketers, and anyone else who wants people to have great experiences with software.

Our conferences create a time and a place for the global community of Documentarians to share information, discuss ideas, and work together to improve the art and science of documentation.

Our Code of Conduct applies to all our community spaces.
