Hi everyone,
CFP for the Barcelona Summit closed this week, so I've been caught up in the flurry of talk submissions. I hope you got yours in on time! We have more Installation Tutorials going up all the time, with Swift up and Designate now in progress. I'd also like to remind you all that we have instructions for creating your team's Install Tutorial in our Contributor Guide here: http://docs.openstack.org/contributor-guide/project-install-guide.html We'd love to get your feedback on that content!
Progress towards Newton

Newton deliverables: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/NewtonDeliverables Feel free to add more detail and cross things off as they are achieved throughout the release.
The CFP for Barcelona is now closed. Best of luck to everyone who submitted a talk :)

Core Team Review
Regretfully, Diane Fleming is no longer a core team member. I'd like to thank Diane for all her contributions to our team. She's been a powerhouse core team member since well before I did my very first OpenStack patch, and I think it's fair to say that many of us wouldn't be here without Diane's support and guidance.
Site Stats
The number of people browsing the site using Opera has dropped by 5% over the past 30 days, but nearly 20% more people are using Edge (which I'm told is the new Windows browser that's replacing IE). Oddly, IE users have increased slightly as well, though, by 7%. Are people abandoning their Macs?!

The APAC meeting was held this week (big thanks to Joseph for chairing that meeting in my absence!), you can read the minutes here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/MeetingLogs#2016-07-13

8 July 2016
Hi everyone,
This week I'm pleased to report that the index page for the new Install Guides Tutorials is up and running! We also had some lengthy discussions about the use of conditionalised formatting (with ``only``), so there were a few meaty topics to go through in the meeting this week. It's also been way too long since we last did a core team review, so that happened this week. I'd also like to remind you that the CFP for Barcelona is only open until mid next week, so get your proposals in soon!
Progress towards Newton
89 days to go!

Newton deliverables: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/NewtonDeliverables Feel free to add more detail and cross things off as they are achieved throughout the release.
The CFP for Barcelona is open now, until 13 July. If you want to brainstorm some documentation-related ideas, please get in touch!
