Writing Day of the Write the Docs is modeled after the concept of “sprints” or “hackathons”, which are common in open-source (OSS) conferences.
I'm coordinating Writing Day to work together and create a user guide for Audinux. Creating a user guide will positively impact our users and encourage new users. And it is a great place to onboard potential contributors and editors.
Check this link for program details.

Boeing sends two engineers arguing it was safe with next Space X mission in 2 empty seats reserved for stranded astronauts. Astronauts return w/ Space X, engineers return in remote piloted starliner craft.
NASA missed chance to challenge Boeing to put skin behind their design., Boeing the chance to stand behind their design.
