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! :)
