| − | + | This week I have still been working on drafting a governance tag for our guides called "docs:follows-policy". I have been working with Doug Hellmann (dhellmann) in the last week to change to draft dramatically, so it would be good for docs people to review again. We are trying to make this a more broad tag now, so it can be applied for other guides too. To review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/445536/ I am also in the process of documenting guidelines in our Contribution Guide - which would also benefit from doc reviews: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/453642/ | |

Team,
This week I have still been working on drafting a governance tag for our guides called "docs:follows-policy". I have been working with Doug Hellmann (dhellmann) in the last week to change to draft dramatically, so it would be good for docs people to review again. We are trying to make this a more broad tag now, so it can be applied for other guides too. To review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/445536/ I am also in the process of documenting guidelines in our Contribution Guide - which would also benefit from doc reviews: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/453642/
Would like to call out and thank John Davidge for his awesome work with the Networking Guide and neutron-related patches. He's been providing valuable guidance, and reviews, and it has been greatly appreciated by myself and the team.
Lana Brindley has done an awesome job for the last two weeks in keeping our bug list under control. We are down to an amazing 102 bugs in queue, and 82 bugs closed this cycle already! Next week, I will be looking after the bug triage liaison role! If you're sitting there thinking "bugs are for me, I really love triaging bugs!" well, you're in luck! We have one spot open for the rest of the cycle (14 Aug - 28 Aug): https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/SpecialityTeams#Bug_Triage_Team
The Road to the Summit in Boston

Team team team team team,
Well the last month has just FLOWN by since the PTG. We've got plenty going on in the docs team...
This week I have been helping out the security team with the Security Guide. We've been working on some cursory edits, and removal of content. A few patches have already made it through - thanks to the OSIC security team for tackling some of the outstanding bugs. There'll be more edits coming from me in the next few weeks. To see our planning: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/sec-guide-pike I am also in the process of drafting a governance tag for our install guides. Would be great for everyone to review and understand what the process will involve: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/445536/
Shoutout and big thanks to Brian Moss and the nova team who worked together tirelessly to document Nova v2 Cells and Placement API - which was a massive blocker for our Installation Guide.

Next week, we have Lana who will be looking after the bug triage liaison role! If you're sitting there thinking "bugs are for me, I really love triaging bugs!" well, you're in luck!
