Shaping a strategy for Ubuntu user assistance

Registered by Jim Campbell

Documentation plays an important part in the success of software projects, and the Ubuntu documentation team is committed to evolving our approaches to provide Ubuntu users, developers, and OEMs with effective user help and an effective user help framework.

Part of doing that is recognizing that user help can't exist in a silo. This session is designed to facilitate input from those involved in, or working on the periphery of, the documentation team (e.g., designers, server team members, uTouch developers, those interested in a11y, translation team members, packaging team folks, those working with OEMs, web admins, etc.) to shape a long-term Ubuntu help strategy.
