-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, Welcome to August! Today we can finally announce that the Cloud Admin Guide is now completely converted to RST! I have been doing a fair bit of 'behind the scenes' work this week, focusing mainly on Training Guides and our docs licensing. We also welcome another new core team member this week, and for those of you in the APAC region, get ready for the Docs Swarm in Brisbane, where we'll be working on restructuring the Architecture Design Guide. == Progress towards Liberty == 68 days to go! * RST conversion: ** Install Guide: Conversion is nearly done, sign up here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/Migrate#Installation_Guide_Mig... ** Cloud Admin Guide: is complete! The new version will be available on docs.openstack.org very soon. ** HA Guide: is also nearly done. Get in touch with Meg or Matt: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HA_Guide_Update ** Security Guide: Conversion is now underway, sign up here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/sec-guide-rst * User Guides information architecture overhaul ** Waiting on the RST conversion of the Cloud Admin Guide to be complete * Greater focus on helping out devs with docs in their repo ** Work has stalled on the Ironic docs, we need to pick this up again. Contact me if you want to know more, or are willing to help out. * Improve how we communicate with and support our corporate contributors ** I have been brainstorming ideas with Foundation, watch this space! * Improve communication with Docs Liaisons ** I'm very pleased to see liaisons getting more involved in our bugs and reviews. Keep up the good work! * Clearing out old bugs ** Sadly, no action on the spotlight bugs this week. Perhaps we're all worn out from the RST conversions? I'll keep the current three bugs for this week, to give everyone a little more time. == RST Migration == With the Cloud Admin Guide complete, we are now working on the Install Guide, HA Guide, and the Security Guide. If you would like to assist, please get in touch with the appropriate speciality team: * Install Guide: ** Contact Karin Levenstein <karin.levenstein@rackspace.com> ** Sign up here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/Migrate#Installation_Guide_Mig... * HA Guide ** Contact Meg McRoberts <dreidellhasa@yahoo.com> or Matt Griffin <me@mattgriffin.com> ** Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+spec/improve-ha-guide * Security Guide ** Contact Nathaniel Dillon <nathaniel.dillon@hp.com> ** Info: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/sec-guide-rst For books that are now being converted, don't forget that any change you make to the XML must also be made to the RST version until conversion is complete. Our lovely team of cores will be keeping an eye out to make sure loose changes to XML don't pass the gate, but try to help them out by pointing out both patches in your reviews. == Training Guides == I've been working with the Training Guides group and the docs core team to determine the best way to move forward with the Training Guides project. At this stage, we're planning on breaking the project up into a few distinct parts, and bringing Training Guides back into the documentation group as a speciality team. If you have any opinions or ideas on this, feel free to contact me so I can make sure we're considering all the options. == APAC Docs Swarm == We're less than a week away from the APAC doc swarm! This time we'll be working on the Architecture Design Guide. It's to be held at the Red Hat office in Brisbane, on 13-14 August. Check out http://openstack-swarm.rhcloud.com/ for all the info and to RSVP. == Core Team Changes == This month, we welcome KATO Tomoyuki on to our docs core team.
