Talk Descriptions:

Creating Public Documentation with VuePress

Colin McFadden - CLA LATIS

VuePress allows you to create easy-to-navigate, SEO-friendly documentation using markdown, which can be hosted through GitHub Pages. This allows your documentation to exist within your GitHub repo and allows for crowd-sourcing documentation. In this presentation, we’ll look at the pros and cons of VuePress, and walk through the process for creating new documentation.

My Year as a Tech Lead

Tony Thomas - Academic Support Resources

What does “Tech Lead” mean? It’s a vague title and definitions vary.

I spent a year as the tech lead on a project and I was asked to define what I thought that role meant. This talk would focus on lessons learned during that year. I’ll tell the story of what I think my role as tech lead was and draw on books and resources I found helpful along the way.
