Troubleshooting and ask.openstack.org

Keystone team wants to do troubleshooting documents.
Ask.openstack.org might be the right forum for this, but help is needed:
- Keystone core should be able to moderate.
- A top level interface than just tags. The page should have a series of questions and links to the discussions for that question.
There could also be a keystone-docs repo that would have:
- FAQ troubleshooting
- Install guides
- Unofficial blog posts
- How-to guides
We don’t want a static troubleshooting guide. We want people to be able to ask questions and link them to answers.

Colette Alexander has successfully organized leadership training in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
17 people from the community attended. 8 of them from the TC.
Subjects:
- servant leadership
- Visioning
- Stages of learning
- Good practices for leading organizational change.
Reviews and reflections from the training have been overwhelmingly positive and some blogs started to pop up [1].
A smaller group of the 17 people after training met to discuss how some ideas presented might help the OpenStack community.
- To more clearly define and accomplish that work, a stewardship working group has been proposed [2].
Because of the success, and 5 TC members weren’t able to attend, Colette is working to arrange a repeating offer.
Thanks to all who attended and the OpenStack Foundation who sponsored the training for everyone.

  - Only emergency bug fix updates are allowed during that period.
  - Prioritize any feature work that includes work in libraries.
Release actions:
- Official projects following any of the cycle-based release models should propose beta 2 tags for their deliverables by July 14.
- Review stable/liberty stable/mitaka branches for needed releases.
Important dates:
- Newton 2 milestone: July 14
- Library release freeze date starting R-6, Aug 25

Current central documentation
- Consistent structure
- For operators and users
- Some less technical audience use this to evaluate with various other cloud infrastructure offerings.
Project documentation trends today:
- Few are contributing to central documentation
- More are becoming independent with their own repository documentation.
- An alarming number just don’t do any.
A potential solution: Move operator and user documentation into individual project repositories:
- Project developers can contribute code and documentation in the same patch.
- Project developers can work directly or with a liaison documentation team members to improve documentation during development.
- The documentation team primarily focuses on organization/presentation of documentation and assisting projects.
