Open Stack

= 13 May 2016 =

Hi everyone,

Wow, what a busy week! I've been mainly focused on the Install Guide speciality team this week, with gathering interested participants, ensuring our specs are ready to be merged, and setting a new meeting time. I'm also pleased to say that our speciality team reports make a post-Summit comeback in this newsletter. 

Just another reminder that all projects should update their cross-project liaison for docs on the wiki here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CrossProjectLiaisons#Documentation If you're one of the lucky people nominated by your PTL to be a docs CPL, then please do your very best to attend docs meetings in your favourite timezone to make sure we hear the voice of your project when we're making documentation decisions. Details of upcoming docs meetings are at the end of this newsletter every week. 

On a related note, it was refreshing to read the conversation from the US meeting this week, and the associated conversation on the mailing lists about developer contributions to documentation. We'd love to find out what it is that prevents you from contributing to the docs, and what the docs team can do to make things that little bit easier for you! Reach out to us either on the dev mailing list (with [docs] in the subject line), or on the docs mailing list at openstack-docs at lists.openstack.org. 

== Progress towards Newton ==

145 days to go!

Bugs closed so far: 71

Newton deliverables https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/NewtonDeliverables
Feel free to add more detail and cross things off as they are achieved throughout the release. I will also do my best to ensure it's kept up to date for each newsletter.

The Ops and HA Guides now exist in openstack-manuals, and the old repos have now been set to read-only.

We also have the first patch in for the Install Guide 'cookie cutter' template, which is a great start!
