Hi everyone,

Welcome to October, which means: it's nearly release day! I've been
brushing up on the release management tasks, and continued my
housekeeping duties to make sure we're in shape. The next two weeks will
be spent watching the Installation Guide pretty closely, and making sure
we get it all tested and ready to ship. If you are looking for something
to do this week, please treat Install Guide testing as your main
priority from here until 15 October. Also, don't forget to vote in the
TC election next week!

== Progress towards Liberty ==

12 days to go

534 bugs closed so far for this release.

The main things that still need to be done as we hurtle towards release:
* Testing, testing, testing:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/LibertyDocTesting
* Reviews:
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/openstack
- -manuals,n,z
and

== Mitaka Summit Prep ==

Thank you to everyone who provided suggestions for Design Summit
sessions. I've now mangled them into a draft schedule, which looks a
little like this:

Workrooms (Thursday AM):
- - Docs toolchain/infra info session
- - IA working session - Ops/Arch Guides & User Guides
- - Doc Contributor Guide: new content addition
- - API Docs Session

Fishbowls (Thursday PM):
- - The docs process, plus best practices
- - Mitaka planning - deliverables for the next release

Meetup (Friday AM):
- - Contributors meetup. No agenda. We can assist with setting up
devstack/working through the Install Guide during this session

Once I have access to Cheddar and Sched, I'll get this allocated more
accurately. In the meantime, feedback or questions are welcome.

== Bug Triage Process ==

The core team have been noticing a lot of people trying to close bugs
that haven't been triaged recently. It is very important that you have
someone else confirm your bug before you go ahead and create a patch.
Waiting just a little while for triage can save you (and our core team!)
a lot of work, and makes sure we don't let wayward changes past the
gate. If you're unsure about whether you need to wait or not, or if
you're in a hurry to work on a bug, you can always ping one of the core
team on IRC or on our mailing list. The core team members are listed
here, and we're always happy to help you out with a bug or a patch:
https://launchpad.net/~openstack-doc-core

This is even more important than usual as we get closer to the Liberty
release, so remember: If it's not triaged, don't fix it!

== Doc team meeting ==

The APAC meeting was held this week. The minutes are here:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/MeetingLogs#2015-09-30
