Hi, Cameron,
I've forwarded your first email to Angelos and Astrid. They will get
back shortly.

I was wondering why Nelson hadn't received a response to this email
thread, and it might be because we had an old email address:
l...@osgeo.org <mailto:l...@osgeo.org> instead of
osgeolive@lists.osgeo.org <mailto:osgeolive@lists.osgeo.org>.
Seems like I need to go update my contacts, and maybe our web pages need
to be updated too.

Hi folks,
As Nelson mentions, I was impressed with Nelson's stated background
in tech writing and environmental science, combined with his
interest in getting involved in open source in a long term way, and
suggested that maintaining the quickstarts and project overviews
would be a great place to start.
I see this could be a building upon the prior work that Felicity did
with brining quickstarts up to date
<https://flicstar.com/project-report-for-season-of-docs-2019>.
A good starting point could be to audit all the existing
quickstarts. Run each of them. Make sure they are still up to date
and work. Make sure the screenshots are still valid.
In a year or so, this could extend to updating our templates to
align with the emerging best practice doc templates which are being
developed within The Good Docs Project.
I can provide Nelson with some mentoring from a tech writing
perspective, but will have limited capacity to help with the
OSGeoLive side of things, such as reaching out to each project
asking for latest updates.
I have been mostly inactive within OSGeo-Live for the last couple of
years.
I'm interested to hear if this plan would work?
There might be some changes which I'm not aware of?
I assume there is still a periodic team meeting? Could you please
share details with Nelson.

Hello,
My name is Nelson Guya, a technical writer from Nairobi, Kenya.
I recently joined the Good Docs Project to help open source
projects improve the quality of their documentation.
Earlier this week, I had a conversation with Cameron Shorter
(cofounder and coordinator of OSGeoLive and TheGoodDocsProject),
who pointed me to OSGeoLive, and we talked about my involvement
with the project.
I am interested in helping out by reviewing and updating
OSGeoLive Quickstarts and project overviews. My educational
background (BSc Environmental Science) and years of writing
experience will be useful in the project in the future.
He, Cameron, has offered to help me get started with managing
the OSGeo Live Docs.
I plan to be actively involved with the docs while using and
implementing Cameron's invaluable insights and guidance - as he
has worked with the project since its inception.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Nelson Guya
