Hi everyone, We had our kickoff meeting yesterday, thanks to everyone who came, especially those who stayed up late or woke up early to attend. Here are my notes from the meeting, please feel free to reply to this message if you want to add anything. I've also put these up on https://en.opensuse.org/Documentation:Meetings#Kickoff_meeting:_17_September... for posterity. Attendees: Andrés Adrien Attila Frank Lana * Introduction from Frank, who leads the SUSE documentation team, about the way the docs repo (https://github.com/SUSE/doc-sle) works currently. Docs are written in Docbook XML, and use the DAPS toolchain. Repo is open to PRs from anyone who wishes to contribute. * Discussion about whether a new guide could be added directly to the repo, or whether we should start a different/new repo. Frank confirmed that a new guide could be added to the existing docs repo, and no new repo would be required. * Adrien outlined the video proposal, a short series of videos for newcomers. Discussion of the value of video offerings, and general agreement that they would bring value. * Discussion about the existing wiki, and comparison to how other projects (KDE, Ubuntu, etc) organise their documentation between wiki, formal docs, videos, forums, etc. * Discussion about having a central site to allow people to choose which form of documentation they would prefer. openSUSE has many domains available, but doc.opensuse.org seems to be the most reasonable. The code for that site is in github (https://github.com/openSUSE/doc-o-o). This is probably the best starting point for this team. _Action item_ (Everyone) Take a look at the doc-o-o GH repo, request access, and think about how you would like to update it to act as a documentation portal. Additionally, we would like to have a redirect from the main opensuse.org (possibly in the form of a 'documentation' link in the top right hand corner. _Action item_ (Frank & Lana) Determine who owns that site and how to get the link added. * Housekeeping topics: Lana proposed an alternating schedule and timezone for these meetings, which means everyone should be able to attend at least every couple of weeks. _Action item_ (Lana) Set up meeting schedule and send out details. * Discussion about working out how to get started. Frank suggested we do some brainstorming. _Action item_ (Everyone) Add ideas for docs projects we want to tackle to the wiki, for prioritisation and planning in future meetings. Thanks, looking forward to meeting you all again soon! Lana On 10/09/2020 14:52, Lana Brindley wrote:
