Hi Everyone,
Well, the LoCo Docs Day is on Thu 12th Feb. The aim of the day is for
our community to work together to improve our LoCo team documentation
which is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams. Getting involved is simple:
* Head over to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams and look at the
documentation there, read through it and expand and improve on it.
You are welcome to work on any of the existing documentation and
expand it where needed. You are also welcome to write additional
documentation.
* Come and join us in #ubuntu-locoteams on Freenode while the LoCo
Docs Day is happening. There we will be discussing additional
documentation to work on, and sharing ideas and thoughts. Its
going to be a lot of fun!
* Having a great LoCo Docs Day is going to be about spreading the
word. As such you can help by:
o Blogging about the day and encourage people to get involved.
o Microblog on identi.ca and Twitter throughout the day. Today
I created a new identi.ca over at
http://identi.ca/group/ubuntulocoteams but there are other
identi.ca groups available at !ubuntu and !ubuntudevelopers.
o Tell your teams about the day: spead the word on your
mailing list and in your IRC channels.
There are a few areas in which I am particularly keen to see us refine
our documentation:
* The FAQ (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoFAQ) - I would love to see
the FAQ become a truly authorative document. If a question has
been asked in our comunity and answered, it should appear on the
FAQ. This is a great place to make a contribution.
* Join a Team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamJoining) - this page
should not only tell people to join a team but to also share a
little of the culture and excitement about why LoCo teams are a
fun and exciting place to be.
* Start a LoCo Team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto) - this
page should outline the specifics of how to set up a team, get
resources in place and build a community. I would love to see some
of our existing LoCo leaders take a look at that page and add
their insight.
* Additions to the Knowledge Base
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamKnowledgeBase) - the Knowledge
Base is a collection of articles and documents about how to build
and run a great LoCo Team. If there is something missing from
there, do add it. Also, take a look at the existing content and
add and improve it.
Our documentation is a sure-fire way of helping LoCo teams to be
successful. Better documentation will help teams be more productive,
more interesting and help spread the word of Ubuntu more effectively.
Lets come together on the 12th Feb to help "rock the docs". :)
See you in #ubuntu-locoteams! :)
