Hello everyone,
My name is Petr and I recently became a dedicated technical writer for
Red Hat's Community Platform Engineering team under Jim Perrin. Among
other things that means I'm going to start contributing to CentOS
documentation - possibly the Wiki as well, but my main focus at least
for now is to produce an Installation Guide for CentOS 7 that will be as
easy to contribute to as possible and publishable using a standardized
toolchain. The first step towards that is to produce a set of valid
ASCIIDoc sources, so that anyone contributing doesn't have to work
directly in the messy HTML and manually check section numbers, links,
etc. From what I gather that should be in line with your long-term plans
- please let me know if that's not the case, I don't want to barge in
and step on anyone's toes :).
I'll make a pull request against the docs repo when I have something
relatively publishable. I'll also try to make sure that the changes you
made to the HTML book (e.g. removing Fedora LiveUSB Creator, warning
about the upgrade tool not working, etc.) appear in the converted
version as well.
As for my background, I've spent the last roughly 5.5 years as a
technical writer for Red Hat, most of the time I was working on the RHEL
6 and 7 Installation Guides, so I'm fairly familiar with that topic.
I've also been a somewhat active member of Fedora Docs, working on the
Fedora Installation Guide and Release Notes for multiple releases. I'm
Czech and I'm based in Brno, Czech Republic (UTC+2 right now with DST,
UTC+1 in winter). If anyone needs to talk to me, you can reach me on
this mail or as pbokoc on FreeNode in #centos, #rhel, #fedora, or
#fedora-docs. I'll be checking this list as well.
Looking forward to working with you all!
Petr Bokoč
