Documentation Newsletters

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:

Hi everyone,

Only four weeks to go until Newton! Andreas, Brian, Olga, and I met with our new release managers Olena and Alex a few days ago, and we're all ready and waiting with bated breath to get started on the release. 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.

This week, I've also done a core team review, and we bid farewell to two core team members. More on that in this newsletter.

Progress towards Newton

26 days to go!

Bugs closed so far: 428

Release managers: Olena Logvinova and Alexandra Settle

The Road to Barcelona

Looking a little further forward, Foundation have now announced that the first Project Team Gathering (PTG) will be held in Atlanta, US, on Feb 20-24: http://www.openstack.org/ptg

Core Team Review

The core team have completed their review for August, and I'm a bit sad to announce that both Atsushi Sakai and Gauvain Pocontek are no longer core team members.

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!

I thank you both for your commitment to being core team members, and for all your contributions. We are better because of your effort.

Hi everyone,

We have five weeks left until the Newton release goes out, so this week has been all about getting started on testing the Install Guide. We now have beta releases for all our distros, so thanks to our lovely package maintainers for getting back to me so quickly! We can still use more testers, though, all you need to do is sign up on the wiki page and start testing: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/NewtonDocTesting

This week Andreas, Brian, Olga, and I will be meeting with our new release managers Olena and Alex, to make sure they're up to speed. 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.

There is a lot of cleanup happening on the docs site right now, so you might see some old and unloved content disappear. If you notice anything strange, please let Andreas or the docs mailing list know so we can get it straightened out.
