OpenStack documentation: The future depends on all of us

There are ongoing activities to move the current documentation content and responsibilities back to the project teams. Currently, the documentation team helps enable the project teams to write documentation for installation and deployment methods.

The documentation team leads are looking for more dedicated involvement from the cross-project documentation liaisons and the project teams by identifying all the guides that would need to live in project repositories. In addition, the documentation team needs to find new team members and more involvement from the working groups and the user community. The working groups and user community have been particularly identified as they not just the users and testers of the code, but of the documentation material as well.

During the session, we will highlight the current situation and plans for the Pike release. As a next step, we will look into further actions to address the current issues and ensure the quality of our documentation onwards to help deploy, troubleshoot, and operate OpenStack.

We are expecting documentation liaisons, PTL’s, and representatives from our working groups and user community to see how we can leverage the expertise the community has and make the future of the OpenStack documentation/OpenStack Manuals a community effort.
