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.
