OpenStack Docs Boot Camp Wrap Up http://justwriteclick.com/2013/09/13/openstack-docs-boot-camp-wrap-up/

We gathered about 20 writers and developers who wanted to learn about OpenStack documentation in the Mirantis training room for two days this week in Mountain View, California. The idea for a docs boot camp came from the OpenStack Infrastructure team who held one back in June http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/infrastructure-bootcamp/. We wanted to enable more people to contribute to OpenStack documentation through in-person training and team building. It's not like a book sprint, with the goal of a book in five days, but rather a training session, with questions and answers in real time.
