I'm looking forward to Firefox Book Sprint scheduled for March 17-18. The idea is to create Firefox user's manual from zero in 2 days. Many writers will be collaborating in a wiki environment both remotely (as I will) and on-site (the Sprint is held within DocTrain West 2009 in Palm Springs, CA). To join, you'll need to drop a line to Janet Swisher (jmswisher-at-gmail-dot-com) and register in FLOSS Manuals wiki.

Hi there! My name is Elena, and I am a technical writer living and working in Moscow, Russia. I'm passionate about technical communication, so I actively find ways to learn new stuff and establish new contacts in this sphere.
For several years I focused on writing documentation for financial software. In particular, I worked for Reuters Financial Software and Deutsche Bank. My current challenge is to set up a smooth documentation process at the IT department at Kaspersky Lab. My chief concern is to build a strong team of writers and efficiently integrate us with the rest of the company.

Here are some books related to technical writing that I read and appreciated -- and those I just can't wait to get hold of soon.

Thanks for the write-up about the Firefox Book Sprint. I'm also going to contribute remotely from Austin, TX. We seem to have contributors from around the world - Russia and India now. Neat!
