Open Stack

Welcome Denis!

With your knowledge of DocBook and webhelp, I'd love for you to take a look
at our current markup and see if there are more conventions we could add to
better use DocBook's semantic markup. Our conventions are at
http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/Conventions.

What gets you interested in OpenStack? That'll also help us find good tasks
for you. You can always pick up doc bugs after working through a few
convention/markup types of patches.

I think Lorin covered the rest of the onboarding info for docs.

Let us know if you have any trouble getting started - we have "office
hours" on IRC each Monday at noon your time.

Anne
