Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: FYI - Slides online for a talk I gave on DocBook XML
FYI, I've been rather quiet on these lists in the last few months as I moved out of documentation and into product management at the beginning of 2002. I'm still working with DocBook a good bit, but just using existing systems and no longer pushing the edge on what it can do (i.e. trying to tame PDF formatting with FO). And my time to participate in lists of all types has been unfortunately reduced. Anyway, back in November I gave a talk about DocBook XML to the XML Users Group of Ottawa (XUGO - http://www.xugo.org/ ) and finally got around to putting my slides up on the web last weekend. They are at: http://www.lodestar2.com/people/dyork/talks/docbook/ On the title page, there are links to the frames and non-frames version and, of course, the DocBook XML source file (using Norm's Slides doctype). The talk was called "Chasing Documentation's Holy Grail: Toward Single-Source Publishing With DocBook XML" and really focused on introducing DocBook and some of the tools associated with using it. The XUGO evening went well with something like 50 people or so there and lots of questions and interest. A number of companies (Corel was one) came up later saying that they were strongly exploring moving their documention to DocBook. I have subsequently re-used the presentation for a number of smaller presos, including a couple inside our company. Anyway, the preso is out there... help yourself. If anyone finds any glaring errors or omissions, please do let me know, too, as I may do more like this in the future.
