My initial contributions mostly +focused on correcting and expanding the documentation related to my +primary focus area in OpenStack, NFV enablement, though this slowly +expanded as I built up competence in all things docs. At some point, for +many disparate reasons, *os-manuals-migration* happened [1]_, and each +project began taking responsbility for their own documentation. I +assisted with the migration of the nova docs in particular and have been +continuously involved ever since. + +As a result of *os-manuals-migration*, today's documentation team is +mainly intended to act as a liason to other teams, stepping in to help +with various documentation-related questions and, where necessary, +providing additional tooling. In my opinion, this is both a pragmatic +and a sustainable approach and I would like to see the documentation +project continue on this trajectory, changing course only if/when +necessary. As such, my focus areas for the upcoming cycle would be +continued work on making documentation easier to contribute to (or +unnecessary, where docs can be generated from code), cleaning up the +remaining warts in the existing documentation and documentation +processes, and generally ensuring the documentation team is as helpful +as possible for the projects that need us. I feel I am well equipped to +handle this, and I hope you do too. + +Cheers, + +Stephen (stephenfin) + +.. [1] https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/docs-specs/specs/pike/os-manuals-migration.html
