| − | Hi everyone,
| |
| − | | |
| − | We're on the final countdown to Newton now! The release managers Olena and Alex are busy getting the release patches ready, the Install Guide testing team are madly working through the last few sections, and Andreas and I have our fingers hovering over the big red GO button! Don't forget that you can contact any of us (or just send mail to the docs mailing list) if you have any questions about the Newton docs release.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please be aware that the core team will not be merging non-critical patches until after we've branched for Newton, particularly for the Installation Guide. We usually cut the branch about a week after Summit concludes, so you might be asked to wait until then. If that happens, a core will -2 your patch until after we've branched.

| − | == Speciality Team Reports ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This will be the last Speciality Team report before we release Newton, as focus shifts to final preparations, testing, and release notes. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our speciality team leads, who work very hard behind the scenes to keep their books in top shape, and their teams working together towards a common goal. Our docs suite wouldn't be what it is without these hard working people.

| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | Gauvain has been committing to OpenStack manuals since well before my time, and has been an invaluable resource for many people (including myself!) over the years. He is currently working on some new projects, but we hope to still see him around from time to time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Atsushi-san joined the core team last year, and during that time has proven an extremely effective reviewer. He is still very busy on OpenStack, with an increased focus on cross-project tasks, so we will be sure to still see him around. I wish you well on your endeavours!
| |

| |
| − | | |

This is where I draft the 'What's Up, Doc?' documentation newsletters. The newsletter is distributed every Friday (ish), to the openstack-docs mailing list. If you want to be added to the distribution list, or have content to add, please edit these sections:
Thank you to our release managers, Olena and Alex, who have put in the hard yards over the past few weeks to get us in good shape. Thanks also to Andreas and Kato-san, for everything that they do, and to our speciality team leads and cross project liaisons. And thanks to Christian and Matt for the last minute assistance.
Of course, every release belongs to all of you who have written, tested, reviewed, updated, triaged, and edited over the last six months. Well done on another successful release :)
Don't forget that you can still use "#success" before a message in any OpenStack IRC channel to call out wins, they are gathered here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Successes
Newton has been released unto the world. We fixed 479 bugs this cycle, and completed 15 blueprints.
We'll begin planning for Ocata over the next couple of weeks, culminating in the Barcelona Summit 25-28 October, where we'll develop our Ocata deliverables list. Stay tuned!
We are also hoping to have a docs session in the Ops track. I'll get back to you with more information on that as soon as I have it.
I've requested a docs track at the PTG in Atlanta next February, which will be used for Ocata review and Pike planning. Please let me know if you intend to participate.
Just a quick note that we won't be holding a core team review in November, as it conflicts with Summit. We'll resume these in December for the Ocata cycle.
We will take a short break and resume the normal meeting schedule after Summit. In the meantime, you can catch most of us in #openstack-doc in a variety of timezones, so feel free to drop in and ask questions any time.
