December 2014 OpenStack Infrastructure User Manual Sprint <http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=9952> During this week the Infrastructure team released a significant milestone for the Infrastructure User Manual. The manual consolidates documentation for Developers, Core Reviewers and Project Drivers, which was spread across wiki pages, project-specific documentation files and general institutional knowledge. The manual is starting to look great and a lot of wiki pages have been declared obsolete meanwhile.
