Open Stack

Welcome Lana!

It's really great to have another Aussie in the mix ;) and such a 
qualified writer too!

Some "first-day" administrivia for you:

* We normally meet on Tuesdays 
(http://wiki.openstack.org/Meetings/DocTeamMeeting). Feel free to add 
anything on the agenda

* #openstack-doc is our little hangout on the freenode IRC network 
(https://wiki.openstack.org/IRC). In Australian timezones it's pretty 
cool first thing in the morning, before our American and Canadian 
friends go to bed, and then in the late afternoon our German colleagues 
come online. Feel free to ask anyone questions there if you want a quick 
live discussion

* Documentation for OpenStack follows a the normal "code review" 
process, which is great for improving the quality of terrible 
non-professional writers such as myself :)
There's a long wiki page here: 
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo#Edit_OpenStack_documentation


So, how can we help you on your OpenStack journey? :D


Regards,



Tom
