Welcome!!

This meeting is open to everyone. Just click the [meeting invite](http://forum.ansible.com/t/documentation-working-group-meeting/7229) … button to add the meeting to your personal calendar.

We discuss topics related to Ansible project documentation and the tooling that publishes that documentation to [docs.ansible.com](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/index.html). While the meeting at times goes deeply into some topics, we welcome newcomers and new contributors and are always willing to explain what we are discussing to help you follow along on the topics.

We currently focus on the Ansible package and ansible-core releases, tracking the [docs issues](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Adocs) and [PRs](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3Adocs).

# DaWGs aka Documentation Working Group Agenda

Next DaWGs Meeting : 2023-08-22T15:00:00Z

**NOTE: To add items to the agenda, create [a forum topic with the `dawgs-meeting` tag.](http://forum.ansible.com/tag/dawgs-meeting).** We will use those as the new topics to discuss at each meeting. Post-meeting, we will remove the tag and replace it with the `documentation` tag for future reference.

Meeting summary and logs are [here](http://forum.ansible.com/tags/c/workflow/15/documentation).

If you are new to running the meeting, see [meeting hints](http://forum.ansible.com/t/documentation-working-group-agenda/153/14) for some tips and tricks and thanks!

The following are agenda items we cover every week:

- Review any docs-based action items from last week
- New items - [Topics tagged dawgs-meeting](http://forum.ansible.com/tag/dawgs-meeting)
- [New docs issues needing triage](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aneeds_triage)

Edited a few things to tie the agenda to the calendar entries and made them repeat weekly. So we will have one agenda wiki, and edit it as needed for the upcoming meeting.

I like what you’ve done here! Since it’s recurring at the same time every week I don’t think it needs to be on the Events calendar, but having the agenda easily accessible is key, and this looks great.

I’ve added a meeting tag which may be useful for people searching, or for us to generate some kind of aggregate page.

- [Add version into generated files by felixfontein · Pull Request #205 · ansible-community/antsibull-docs · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/pull/205) - should the version always be included, or should this be configurable? And if it is configurable, what should the default be?

@felixfontein great to see you 🙂 - just so you know, you can edit the agenda directly (or should be able to!) as it’s set as a “wiki post”. I’ve added your agenda item up there, just in case 💪

Since we are opening up the DaWGs meeting ‘chair’ role to community members, this is a quick cheatsheet on how we run the meeting.

**Primary commands:**  
!startmeeting DaWGs aka Documentation Working Group

@room Meeting time! Who is here to talk the docs?

Raise your ascii hand (o/) to say hi or any other way you want to let us know you are here. And Welcome to any new folks!

General run of the meeting - We go over action items, give docs updates… maybe have a topic or two, and go over doctooling updates (all the fun stuff behind the scenes that get us [docs.ansible.com](http://docs.ansible.com)!)

official agenda at [Documentation Working Group Agenda - #7 by samccann](http://forum.ansible.com/t/documentation-working-group-agenda/153/7)

To add to the agenda, create a [forum topic with the `dawgs-meeting` tag](http://forum.ansible.com/tag/dawgs-meeting).

_From here, we set a new topic for major discussions or general updates that follow along the agenda above. We don’t always cover every item on the agenda - some of the ongoing items list are just reminders of unfinished work._

!topic Spiffy New Thing

_Use ^info to add an entry into the meeting logs._

_To end the meeting:_  
!endmeeting

_No need to update logs as that happens automatically now!_
