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.

Leadership Training Recap and Steps Forward

• 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.

The Future of OpenStack Documentation

• 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.
