Xen Project Document Days

What is a Xen Document Day?

Xen document days are all day IRC events, facilitated by members of the Xen community. The purpose of Xen Document Days is to

• Improve user documentation
• Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man pages, etc.
• Improve and maintaining the wiki: this means fixing important pages, retiring old ones, help identify what is and isn’t important, write new pages, etc.

How Does it Work?

• Join us on IRC: freenode channel #xendocday
• Tell people what you intend to work on (to avoid doing something somebody else is already working on)
• Fix some documentation
• Help others
• And above all: have fun!

The TODO list

We have a Xen Document Days etherpad page which contains a TODO list

Proposed dates for 2012

We agreed on the mailing list that Xen Document days will be held the last Monday of each month, starting from Feb. If the date clashes with say a major Xen event or a holiday, we will try and find an alternative date.

This means the 2012 dates are:

• March 26, 2012
• April 23, 2012
• May 28, 2012
• June 25, 2012
• July 30, 2012
• August 27, 2012 (clashes with XenSummit NA), propose Aug 20
• September 24, 2012
• October 29, 2012
• November 26, 2012
• December 30, 2012 (we should consider finding another date)

Go to Xen Document Days etherpad page to propose a new date or to vote for a day.

Extra Days

Some community members indicated that they would like an extra doc day on a public holiday or weekend. I am looking for proposed dates. Please add dates below and sign up besides it. If we get more than 5 people signed up, we should hold a day on a weekend.
