This week’s podcast is an interview with Berry Braster from Tedopres. If you’ve been a part of the Arbortext community for any length of time, you’ve seen Berry and you know about The Book.

When I say “The Book” and “Tedopress” in the same breath, everyone knows which book I mean. Tedopress is well known for giving away the book that defines best practices for writing for international audiences, for preparing your content for translation.  The  name of the book is “The New Language in International Business, Simplified English” and you can get your free copy here.

Year after year, I always looked forward to seeing Berry. I’ve had The Book for as long as I can remember. It was one of the first references I got when I was learning.

It is my pleasure to talk to him about his experiences, the expertise and business of Tedopress, and his advice for preparing content for translation. As with all best practices, it’s not the technology but application of it that determines the success of dynamic information development projects.

Enjoy!

This week’s podcast is an interview with Suzanne Napoleon. If you’ve been a part of the Arbortext community for any time at all, you know the name Suzanne Napoleon. Suzanne has been the voice of FOSI for at least 15 years on the adepters mailing list, at conferences, and has helped numerous individuals learn the intricacies of FOSI development — from beginner to expert. Her FOSI tutorials have been invaluable to many people in every industry.

It is my pleasure to talk to her about her experiences, her expertise, and her advice for all of us who want to get better at what we do every day. Whether we use FOSI on a daily basis or not, her advice applies to stylesheet development for us all. It’s not the technology, but the best practices in the application of skills required to achieve results in automated publishing environments that makes the difference. Plus, it’s a fair bet that if you’re trying to do something with a FOSI and having trouble, Suzanne can help.
