Hi everyone,

A fairly quiet week this week, as I've been gradually working my way through old bugs. We're now only ten weeks out from release, so I've also been trying to tidy up some loose ends around the Contributor Guide. We have a couple of specs out for review right now, so if you're looking for some docs work to pick up, try checking these out: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/docs-specs,n,z

Hi everyone,

As many of you would have noticed from the email onslaught, I've been working on some Launchpad housekeeping this week. The blueprints are all tidied up now, and I intend to start on the bug list next week, so keep those email filters handy ;)

I'd also like to point out the hard work Andreas has been putting in to evaluate moving our docs jobs to Ubuntu Xenial. If you notice any weirdness, please let Andreas know.

HA Guide: Andrew Beekhof Got drafted (pun intended) Started figuring out the current status and direction

Install Tutorials: Lana Brindley Next meeting: 2 August 0600 UTC

Networking Guide: Edgar Magana No report this week.

Security Guide: Nathaniel Dillon No report this week.

User Guides: Joseph Robinson No report this week.

Ops Guide: Shilla Saebi, Darren Chan Started a weekly Arch Guide working group meeting on Wednesday 20:00 UTC. Currently drafting the Design chapter and reusing existing content.

API Guide: Anne Gentle Sent email to -dev and -docs list to determine next steps for releasing openstackdocstheme and os-api-ref sphinx extension so we can get the better theming output: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-July/099373.html Released 1.4.0 of openstackdocstheme in preparation for August (hopefully) readiness of theme/extension for unifying API docs navigation. Completed updated of governance/reference/projects.yaml to indicate contributor and api docs URLs. Found that three projects have not completed migration (trove, telemetry/ceilometer, ) and found that nn projects don't use the openstackdocstheme and os-api-ref extension and then won't be included in a unified navigation solution for all OpenStack APIs.

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?!

Doc team meeting

Next meetings:

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!
