I was interrupted by a higher priority but that is done now. 19:20:29 we are not having members of thespecialty team join various operator meetings to try to get some help 19:20:36 cool 19:20:45 not.. or now? 19:21:18 * njohnston echoes DevonBoatwright's question 19:22:22 i'd bet now 19:22:27 I think she means we are now joining meetings.. because we have joined meetings. lol 19:22:46 was that question directed for me 19:22:51 Yes. 19:22:53 YEa 19:23:02 oh sorry, now 19:23:06 lol. :) 19:23:31 #topic Countdown to release 19:23:43 ◦ #link http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20161006T00&p0=1440&msg=OpenStack+Newton+Launch+Date&font=slab 19:23:52 91 days 19:24:10 #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/NewtonDeliverables 19:25:23 anything on that? 19:25:30 not here 19:25:34 ditto 19:25:54 mmkay 19:26:09 #topic Open discussion 19:26:20 Forgot to ask what happened with the HA-Guide M 19:26:24 e-mail you sent out? 19:26:35 @Sam-I-Am 19:26:50 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-docs/2016-June/008733.html 19:27:11 * Sam-I-Am looks 19:27:32 no one responded to it 19:28:21 yeah and i noticed the last time the specialty team update was provided was back in March 19:28:24 it's been a while 19:28:42 Can we discuss switching from 'code-block:: console' to 'prompt:: bash #' ? 19:29:36 maybe... 19:29:42 sure let me just provide a quick update back on the HA-guide topic 19:30:06 at the APAC meeting, after looking at the logs again, it looks like Lana was to ask Bogdan about killing the HA guide 19:30:15 and then maybe incorporating it into the ops guide 19:30:33 "in the meantime, we might do what Matt said and mark it as deprecated" 19:30:54 so thats a start 19:31:15 cool 19:31:31 ok so switching from 'code-block:: console' to 'prompt:: bash #' ? 19:32:05 I really like the way promp works but it does involve a ton of work. 19:32:30 Any thoughts? 19:32:32 i would recommend starting a thread on the docs ML on this 19:32:38 There is. 19:32:55 isnt there a discussion thread now? 19:33:06 oh can you send me the link 19:33:09 i must have missed that one 19:33:09 Better way to display shell commands 19:33:18 what was most of the consensus 19:33:42 * rcaballeromx looking for the link... 19:34:50 #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-docs/2016-July/008808.html 19:34:52 pranav gave a reason for not using it (yet) 19:35:00 but other than that, it seems like a good idea 19:36:11 I agree with Pranav. The change is more convinient than necessary. 19:36:25 I am just doubtful that it is the best use of our time. 19:37:21 my only concern would be installing the extension 19:37:27 i haven't caught up on all the emials yet though 19:37:40 but if we have that part down then i am not opposed to it at alll 19:37:48 right like if its low prio 19:38:03 there are definitely higher prio items 19:38:44 I see we are all of a similar opinion then. 19:39:07 Thank you! 19:39:15 yeah i mean if we have the time/resources that are willing to help then i don't have a prob w/it 19:39:19 :) 19:39:20 yep 19:39:57 anything else anyone wants to bring up? 19:40:52 going once 19:40:55 going twice 19:40:58 well 19:41:01 sort of 19:41:05 go for it 19:41:45 some meetings ago, i brought up the fact that we're seeing fewer and fewer docs contributions from projects... and the big tent isnt exactly helping 19:42:09 some do :) 19:42:16 well, yeah :) 19:42:21 but many dont. most don't. 19:42:28 And some wait until the very end of a cycle 19:42:36 (not that it's right, mind you :) ) 19:42:58 a lot of docs have been moved in-tree to the projects, though 19:43:01 some smaller projects lack the resources... but i'm mainly concerned about the large, long-standing projects 19:43:30 Are specific docs people assigned to each project? 19:43:31 rosmaita: yeah, that might help further reduce the barriers to contributions 19:43:48 no, there arent enough docs people to do 1:1 19:44:02 I meant for the 13 core projects. 19:44:44 so thats sort of what i have in mind... move more docs into the project repos, and then provide services for those projects either helping review docs, or going in and fixing them.... then we use docs.openstack.org as a way to tie them all together into something coherent 19:45:04 I fully agree! 19:45:13 +1 19:45:20 it would sort of be an opt in/out thing, but it does not allow 'no docs' 19:45:24 which seems to be the problem now 19:45:29 They could rally devs and enforce quality and consistency of content. 19:45:49 +1 19:45:55 i think we'll have a lot more consistency/quality maintenance to do... it depends on the project, the dev, etc. 19:46:09 a lot of stuff in the devrefs is... bad. 19:46:27 We should also create clear guidelines of what is acceptable vs. what's not. 19:46:48 You can count me in on that effort. 19:46:52 unfortunately, i think all of our conventions scare a lot of devs away 19:47:18 They would not have to deal with them. The doc person of the project would. 19:47:20 so it would be more like devs contributing technically accurate content, then either going the extra mile to make it look nice, or asking docs to help 19:48:10 i brought this up with the nova ptl and he'd like to bring it up at his mid-cycle... sort of test the waters 19:48:21 +1 19:48:40 we might also want to get sean dague on board when he returns... someone who is generally good at pushing new ideas 19:49:01 We can provide devs with templates, and try to avoid flooding them with conventions. 19:49:14 yeah, stuff like that is where we'd really fit in 19:49:28 seems like the api ref movement to project repos is getting a lot of attention 19:49:45 well, speaking for glance, that would be really helpful (templates and reviews) 19:50:05 the api-ref will need a good look-over for consistency with other projects 19:50:18 IMO we should not be creating the content, just reviewing it and providing devs with tools for them to create it. 19:50:26 ^ this 19:50:39 openstack has gotten too big for the docs team to write content 19:50:48 unless we also happen to be involved with a project (like me and neutron) 19:51:14 Even then I bet it is very challenging and a lot of work. 19:51:22 so... dev contributes content, tags some sort of docs liaison in the review (or the docs team tracks patches with some sort of tag in the commit message) .... go. 19:51:47 Devs should tag the project's doc maintainer. 19:51:55 i'll probably throw something on the dev ML here in a couple days 19:52:00 fire up some discussion 19:52:11 just figured i'd toss it out here 19:52:15 (so maybe i'm not nuts)_ 19:52:22 Copy me, please. 19:52:35 rcaballeromx: are you on the dev ml? 19:52:48 I can be in a minute. :) 19:53:04 cool. it'll be a couple days before i fire it off - still buried from vacation 19:53:10 thats it from me! 19:53:46 * rcaballeromx has nothing more to add. 19:54:24 Anything else ot bring up? 19:54:45 is there any kind of style guide specificlly for the api-ref ? 19:55:06 i know some people are developing sphinx stanzas for it, was wondering where that's being tracked 19:56:13 Does anyone know? I'm not sure. 19:56:14 yeah, there is somewhere 19:56:19 you might want to ask anne gentle 19:56:29 ok, thanks 19:56:31 she's sort of been heading it up 19:56:45 there's also a few projects implementing it like keystone, so check with steve martinelli 19:56:53 i think neutron is too... and nova. 19:57:00 sean dague might also be good 19:58:00 So we have 3 more minutes... 19:58:03 aight, i gotta roll 19:58:10 Me too. 19:58:10 good meeting, nice seeing more people here 19:58:16 OK. I think we'll wrap up then. Thanks for joining today everyone! 19:58:23 Def a productive meeting. 19:58:28 See you all next time! 19:58:31 #endmeeting
