From Practitioner to Published Author: A Workshop Writing Software
Lanette Creamer, Spark Quality, LLC
Joey MCAllister, Software Quality Engineering, Inc.
From Practitioner to Published Author is a workshop in which software practitioners will learn to communicate their detailed knowledge clearly on the written page with an eye toward formal publication. Learn to write compellingly, edit raw content for a broader audience, deliver your message using established article formats—and practice interviewing and being interviewed.
Led by Lanette Creamer, participants will write an article and, through the process of peer editing, prepare that article for submission to a publication. Participants also will start several seed articles or blog posts to work on throughout the conference week. Joey McAllister, an editor of Better Software magazine, StickyMinds.com, and TechWell.com, will be on hand to discuss the publisher’s side of the process.
If you currently work on a software team and would like to share your experience and improve your writing, this workshop is a great opportunity to learn through practice.

The Workshop on Regulated Software Testing (WREST)
John McConda, Moser Consulting
Santhosh Gnaneswaran, WellPoint
Join us at The Workshop on Regulated Software Testing (WREST)—a free, full-day bonus session held on Friday after the conference concludes. A unique peer workshop, WREST is dedicated to improving the practice of testing regulated systems. We define regulated software as any system that is subject to an internal or external review. The success of WREST depends on the participation of its attendees. There are no formal presentations, only experience reports with plenty of time designated for facilitated discussion. We hope to learn from each other by hearing the success and (especially!) failure stories of real practitioners who test regulated software. Have a problem you want input on solving? Bring that to the workshop as well—just be prepared to participate! WREST is hosted by John McConda and Santhosh Gnaneswaran.
