<div dir="ltr"><div>Here in Austin we are gearing up for the onslaught of visitors for the SXSW festival next week. My first visit there was in 2003, and yes I had to look it up in my blog, <a href="http://justwriteclick.com/2006/03/14/a-trip-report-from-sxsw-interactive-2003/">http://justwriteclick.com/2006/03/14/a-trip-report-from-sxsw-interactive-2003/</a> for those who are into retro tech. :) I'll be there early next week so if you're in town say hi!</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. In review and merged this past week:</div><div>Operations Guide dropped to production! More details and schedule below.</div><div><br></div><div>Just about a month until a release candidate is cut, March 27th starts the release candidates. See <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Icehouse_Release_Schedule">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Icehouse_Release_Schedule</a> for all the glorious release dates. This week is Feature Freeze. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Great work going on to keep up with configuration options and good work making the Configuration Reference more polished and "leaner" -- for true reference. Summer Long has been going great gangbusters on ensuring ALL configuration files have examples in the documentation, great work Summer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We also revised the configuring live migration instructions to be more careful with access.</div><div><br></div><div>Lots of cleanup in the training manuals as well.</div><div><br></div><div>2. High priority doc work:</div>
<div><br></div><div>The subteam on install doc is still working hard, diagrams are being drawn, architectures are being made, servers are being booted. It's all good. I should probably have one of their reps give the report! Come to one of the weekly docs team meetings for details and to find ways to help.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd love to find a documentation mentor for an intern with the Outreach Program for Women. Please add Documentation ideas to the wiki page at: <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas</a>. </div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Doc work going on that I know of:</div><div><br></div><div>The Operations Guide went to production yesterday! Here's their schedule (which shouldn't affect us, just letting you all know how these things work). I'll be entering edits that are markup cleanup most likely. Our single window of time to add <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px"> </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">icehouse info in the Working with Roadmaps appendix is 3/7-3/18. If you're curious, the book is in the latest O'Reilly collaborative authoring system, Atlas2, backed by github and they convert the DocBook to asciidoc on the fly. You can still update the master branch at any time, and I'll be hand-picking and hand-editing as needed.</span></div>

<div><br></div><div>We are definitely behind in triaging doc bugs -- 48 new bugs, some of which may be from DocImpact flags so until the code merges we won't need to address. Even so, with over 400 open bugs we know we need help keeping up with DocImpact flags. Please if you have some time, take a look through doc bugs you could pick up. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also the install doc group is logging bugs for improving the install guide, so that accounts for about 10 doc bugs. </div><div><br></div><div>5. Doc tools updates:</div><div>The 1.14.1 version of the clouddocs-maven-plugin went out this week with multiple improvements, many to the API Reference listing page to help with unique anchor URLs, Google Analytics, and an automatically generated TOC (rather than hand-coding the list of APIs to display). Read more at <a href="https://github.com/stackforge/clouddocs-maven-plugin">https://github.com/stackforge/clouddocs-maven-plugin</a>. </div>
<div><br></div><div>6. Other doc news:</div><div><br></div><div>Not to bury some very exciting news, but we've adjusted our list of doc-core members. We hope to keep reviews moving through. We managed to get over 100 doc patches in the last week and I'm hopeful the additional reviewers will help push our numbers even higher! I'm very happy with the strength of the doc core team and appreciate all the participants we've had in this release period.</div>
