Hi everyone,

My week has been spent on the Install Guide, and a big thanks to Andreas for getting the Infra patch up and documenting the new process. The Install Guide team meeting was well attended this week, and I've been following up on the actions from that. I also contacted the cross project liaisons with the information they need to get their content moved, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of these start work next week.

In other news, Joseph has been busy reviewing the User Guides, and could use a little help working on the information architecture, and getting a few new projects documented. User Guide meetings are held in US and APAC timezones and volunteers are essential to get this effort complete for Newton. Get all the info here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/User_Guides

Hi everyone,

I'm very pleased to be able to announce the results of our Install Guide naming poll this week. We ended up with 31 responses, and a very clear winner in "OpenStack Installation Tutorial". Thank you to everyone who voted! Also, just a note that I'm still very much in need of representatives from the various project teams to pitch in and help us get things running. Please make sure your project is represented by coming along to meetings, or at least contacting us through the mailing list.

This week I've also spent some time with the Upstream training team, identifying gaps in the current material, and preparing for Barcelona.

Site Stats

In the Install Guide naming poll, "OpenStack Installation Tutorial" finished with 29% of the vote, well ahead of "OpenStack Evaluation Setup Guide" at 19%, and "Basic Install Guide" at 16%. And, because charts are fun, here are the final results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VlNFebI_KFobs-XIT5oRhULRymwrqON8SV9pH4uiYIQ/pubchart?oid=2070399201&format=image

I personally thought "OpenStack from Scratch" was the most creative title. And the potentially confusing "Manual Install Guide" ("Guided Install Manual"?) had a small following at just under 10% of the vote. Thanks for all the great suggestions :)
