Blogged: DDD Melbourne 2026
#dddmelb
Our Write The Docs booth was a hit yesterday at the DDD Melbourne conference. Even during sessions we had lots of people coming to our booth.
Our BrickDocs Challenge was great. Even after a 3 minute quick exercise we had a few young developers have a light bulb moment when they realised the consequences of bad documentation for tired support staff managing an incident. Hopefully they will take additional care with writing their documentation after this.
We were talking non-stop all day while we were manning the booth. There was a lot of noise in our area as people were having conversations at other booths too. Even with having shifts on/off I have come away with quite a strained voice.
I really need to do vocal warm-up exercises before conducting workshops and manning conference booths like this. Feel free to share any tips you may have.
And that's a wrap for DDD Melbourne. Thank @bron and all the organisers and volunteers who made it happen.
Another great event. Thanks also to @sixpivot.bsky.social for making it possible for me to attend.
We have had an incredible number of people chatting with us at the Write The Docs booth at the conference.
Lots have taken our BrickDocs Challenge and just two people have managed to solve the fiendish 3 minute challenge following bad instructions. The challenge demonstrates how we need to look after our support and incident management teams by writing simple, clear instructions for all the apps we develop.
If you haven't done our BrickDocs Challenge yet, swing by the Write The Docs booth this afternoon.
Today is the first #dddmelb since the early 2010s I haven't been to, and the first since 2016 I haven't had any involvement with as organiser or volunteer. That it's still going strong with a (mostly) new generation is a great thing, I hope it goes well.
We're at #dddmelb this weekend, sponsoring the community hall!
Join us for a sticker swap in the "pink" Collins room to meet the local Melbourne community, and learn about the #pyconau CFP!
Make sure you say hi to the PyCon AU team in their swanky 2026 shirts! 👕 They might just have some exclusive stickers to share that aren't on the table. 🤫
Oh, and one last thing... if you register this weekend you can still snap up one of the last remaining blind bird tickets!
#dddmelb Had a great start to DDD helping to man the Write The Docs booth. Lots of people came to chat and try the Brick Docs Challenge. Loads of fun.
If you are at DDD drop by our booth and say hi.

Had a last minute thought.. "Did I come to Melbourne but forget to buy a DDD Melbourne ticket?!"
No, I did. Phew 😀
If you are going to the DDD conference in Melbourne tomorrow, head over to the Write The Docs booth and say hi. See if you can solve our 3 minute BrickDocs Challenge or join in some Docs Bingo.
