Open Stack

The install guide team met on 25 August at 2300 UTC.
Attendees: Matt Kassawara, Karin Levenstein, Brian Moss, Joseph Robinson

Testing the RST installation guide
=====
* The installation guide is fully converted, and we would like to have it tested/reviewed against Kilo before we start in on the upgrades to Liberty (mainly to make sure that we converted everything that needed converting).
* Matt has run a test on Ubuntu.
* Brian has set up a wiki page to track the testing work
   https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/KiloDocTesting-RST#Install_Guide

Recruiting more testers (both for the converted guide and for Liberty)
=====
* We had a discussion about tracking review work that doesn't necessarily generate patches/bugs, in that it's a time-consuming activity that may or may not have any stackalytics numbers to show for it. Brian suggested a practice of reviewers leaving comments on files indicating that they have been tested, which would allow reviewers to get patch credit. We're open to ideas.
* Matt pointed out that access to devices on which to run installations is also a blocker for testers. Some of us have access to cloud servers via work. We could provide a cloud account of some kind for general OpenStack install testing purposes, but someone would have to manage it. Again, seeking suggestions.

Contributor guide questions
=====
* We were wondering what the status is on the contributor guide, since there is probably some installation-guide specific content that could be helpful.
* Among other things, Matt has written a document about installing OpenStack in the Rackspace cloud, which may have information that could be adapted for general advice on spinning up OpenStack in cloud environments.
