Proposal management is part art and part science.  It combines strong communications, process management and project management skills with creativity, storytelling and visual presentation with a goal of winning business and generating revenue.  While there are many flavors of proposal management, all share a common foundation.  But what is it like to be a proposal manager?  Hear one proposal manager discuss how she “fell into the job” that became her profession and career and what a day in the life of a proposal manager can be.

Information Design for Museum Exhibits

November 18, 2014 – 5:30 PM – 4625 Wean Hall – Carnegie Mellon University

Speaker: Cathy Klingler, Senior Exhibit Developer, Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Presentation Summary:

How do museum exhibits get built? Who writes all those labels? And, most importantly, which style guide do they use? Our speaker has answers to all of these questions. As the museum’s head writer and exhibit designer, Cathy works with curators, collection managers, educators, and community partners to shape the scientific findings from one of the world’s top research-based museums into a format that is easily accessible to visitors of all ages. Whether the topic is how dinosaurs evolved into birds or the mechanics of how a diamond sparkles, Cathy enjoys distilling complex scientific concepts into exhibits, tours, and programs that make the museum’s world-class research and education engaging and fun.

 Speaker Info:

With interests ranging from languages to dinosaurs to Mozart to sewing, a young Cathy Klingler wasn’t exactly sure what to do with her life. But, having always loved words, she decided that if she became a writer, she could talk about all of the things she enjoyed. Cathy earned degrees in English and German from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a Masters in Translation from Rutgers University, and she began her career as a translator for Siemens Medical Systems in New Jersey. Then, a summer gig cataloguing fossils changed everything, leading to a perfect storm of jobs at the museum that have dovetailed into her current role. Cathy lives in Lower Burrell with her illustrator husband, Mark, and daughter, Olivia. And two cats. And a couple of hermit crabs.

WordPress – Why You Should Be Using It To Run Your Website Or Blog

Topic Overview

What do the New York Times, Bill Cosby and Snoop Dogg all have in common? Their sites are powered by WordPress! Free, open source and very easy to use, WordPress is the most widely used blogging platform. Any skill level from experienced to novice can get a blog up and running in minutes. WordPress isn’t just for blogging though. It is also a very powerful and easily customizable website content management system. Instead of creating each page of your site/blog by hand, you can use this system to customize your design and fill it with your content – and do it from any web browser, smartphone or tablet! Here’s what we’ll cover in the presentation:

  • Why WordPress?
  • The “Front End” – Themes, Plugins and Widgets
  • The “Back End” – How to use the WordPress software to run your blog or website
  • Adding social media, SEO and Google Analytics to your WordPress site.

April 2013 Meeting

Ginny Redish, technical communication icon and author of the book Letting Go of the Words, will be the guest speaker at the April meeting of the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter.

Meeting Overview

Purposes, Personas, Conversations – Practical Techniques for Everything You Create

Headshot of Ginny Redish One of the most important contributions of technical writing has been the realization that everything we write is part of a conversation between author and reader. And as we have all moved from paper to screen, from large screen to small, from static writing to dynamic exchanges, conversation has become even more important as the way to think about writing (and all product design). Come spend an interactive evening with Ginny Redish, working through real examples to see the power of the conversation model. You’ll see how to make sure that your purposes are measurable, specific, and focused on your readers  / users / site visitors. You’ll see the value of always having those people with you (even as “mini-personas”). And you’ll see how walking those personas through their conversations helps you get the right interaction, the right design, the right copy to both satisfy their needs and achieve your goals. You’ll come away with new tools for everything you create – from emails to blogs to web content – even to hardware and apps.

About Ginny Redish

Janice (Ginny) Redish helps clients and colleagues with content strategy, plain language, writing for the web, and all aspects of creating successful user experiences.

An Overview of Trends, Tools, and Technologies in Software User Assistance

The application of technical communication skills to the development of software user assistance has grown immensely in the past twenty years. This specialization is very fulfilling and challenging and technical communicators are finding their role in the software development process to be increasingly valued. User assistance is much more than “Help.” It encompasses a wide range of skills and technologies that are combined to improve the software user’s experience. We contribute through wizards, tutorials, and web-based training. We develop and populate knowledge bases and content management systems. Printed manuals and their PDF equivalents are still an important element of our documentation sets. Many of us are now embedding helpful content directly into the user interface. We are involved with usability testing, localization, testing, quality assurance, and branding. This presentation provides a cutting-edge overview of the latest trends in software user assistance, defines the key terminology, highlights the most important technologies, and offers predictions on future directions of our field. The seventy-five minute session should be of interest to technical communicators of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Meeting Overview When you “Google” something, how does Google (and other search engines) decide what Web sites appear first in the search results? What can you do to make your Web site appear first (or as close to first as possible) in the search results? Why is this so important? The answer is three letters: SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the art and science of designing your Web site to be more visible and relevant to both search engines and the people who search for them, as well as measuring your Web site’s visibility. Join Bryce Walat, a Content Development Specialist, and Jamie Keaney, a Senior Search Strategist, both from IMPAQT, a leading Search Engine Marketing and Search Engine Optimization firm, as they talk about how SEO works, why it’s important, how you can find out how visible your Web site is, and what you can do to improve your Web site’s visibility in search results.

When: Thursday, March 24th 6:30-8:30 PM
Where: Omnyx, LLC 30 Isabella Street, Suite 301 Pittsburgh, PA 15212Google Maps
Price: Members: $12 / Non-Members: $15 / Unemployed: $8 / Students: Free
RSVP by Monday, March 24th with your name, phone number and e-mail address to Robin Davidson at vp@stcpgh.org.

Meeting Overview How Microsoft SharePoint Gives You a Realistic Approach to Content Management Whether you are a single author or part of a team, managing your content is an important practice that ensures efficiency in your work and accuracy in your documentation. Content management practices will help you route material through an approval or signature process, ensure that the right people work on it at the right time, facilitate quality assurance, allow you to track changes, and facilitate content reuse. The problem is that most content management systems are very expensive and require a large learning curve. In fact, many implementations fail because of the complexity. Why not use Microsoft SharePoint? SharePoint has built-in document management features that you can begin using immediately without worrying about a costly implementation and learning cycle. Acquiring and implementing SharePoint is not a hard sell because most organizations already have it and, if not, there are free versions of SharePoint available. For these reasons, SharePoint is becoming the gold standard for many business activities, including content management. This session will discuss why you should use SharePoint (or how it is much easier than people think) and what features you can take advantage of. We will also spend a few minutes discussing Doc-To-Help and its integration with SharePoint. Speaker Bio Nicky Bleiel is the Lead Information Developer for Doc-To-Help. She has 16 years of experience in technical communication; writing and designing information for software products in the documentation, media, industrial automation, simulation, and pharmaceutical industries. She is a Director-At-Large of the Society for Technical Communication and has presented talks at the STC Summit, WritersUA, tcworld, LavaCon, and DocTrain on many topics, including embedded help, tools and technologies, user assistance design, single sourcing, wikis, Web 2.0, and convergence technical communication.

Meeting Overview

Structured Authoring Using Open Source Tools

As many Documentation departments struggle to enforce consistent structure and formatting in their publications, structured authoring can enable writers to author consistent content, publish across different media, and reuse content throughout information products. With many commercial solutions costing thousands (and even hundreds of thousands) of dollars to implement, how can a writing team take advantage of these benefits without breaking the bank? Please join Technical Writer and XML evangelist Bill Lawrence as he shows the value structured authoring can provide for you while demonstrating an end-to-end authoring and publishing solution using entirely free, open source solutions.
