*SUBJECT: Docs hackathon: Documentation Community Conference*

*I’d like to attend Write the Docs Portland from May 4-6, 2025. This three-day event explores the art and science of documentation, and covers a diverse range of topics related to documentation in the software industry. I am particularly interested in leading a project at Writing Day. I believe this event can positively impact our project and community.*
