Workshops for Trusty

[Javier Lopez]

I agree with the fact that we should excel at our documentation, I'm not
particular fondly about videos (since they may be hard to update), however a
nice wiki with plenty of diagrams + screenshots would be wonderful. We already
have channels to ask questions at any time, and the ml is open 24/7.

In my opinion, however, we could organize some documentation hacktons at the
very beginning of the cycle to verify that our documentation (still) rocks.

Since many of us have been involved on the team for a while, we could not see
obvious issues with the documentation, therefore I think it could be a good idea
to run some public polls asking for feedback (in parallel?), and organize some
Q&A sessions, focusing in the aspects we could find in the polls. I'm afraid
that if we just stop creating public sessions we could been seen as a kind of
closed group, let's keep running the extra mile, let's add the extra cream, we
as Ubuntu tend to add.

In my opinion repeating information is not an issue, if we're also creating
bridges for new members, I still remember when I attended my first Ubuntu
meeting and I was very excited because of been able to interact directly with my
Ubuntu heroes.
