Thankyou Felicity

Felicity Brand,
Season of Docs Technical Writer

Thank you Felicity for everything you have given our OSGeoLive community during Google's Season of Docs. It has been much more than your review and update of 50 odd OSGeoLive Quickstarts:

• You have always been friendly, warm and supportive, even during the witching hour teleconference calls we asked you to join. 
• You have touched so many of us. With each of the fifty-odd quickstarts you updated, you were introduced to a new bunch of people.
• You've stepped up and volunteered to help with whatever needed doing, be it big and challenging, or small and mundane.
• You went well beyond your Season of Docs mandate, both within the OSGeoLive project and additionally in TheGoodDocsProject. (Your initial proposal didn't account for all the community interaction you ended up doing).
• You've brought a fresh perspective to many of our conversations, often introducing innovative ideas. The OSGeo Lexicon Committee started with your suggestion. 
• You balanced practical and sensible pragmatism with witty and playful humour. It made working with you fun instead of a chore.
• And you've managed to do all this while mothering, without missing a beat. I was impressed when you introduced your well-behaved toddler as she walked into one of our video conferences.

So on behalf of the OSGeoLive community, thank you.

Dear all,
The Season of Docs program officially ended yesterday.
Phew, what a ride! Thank you all for being so supportive and helpful.
It has felt like an intense period of learning and doing - I'll be glad to have a rest.
You can read my summary report.
I have really enjoyed this opportunity to learn about open source, your community and geospatial software. I have also picked up skills in ReST, sphinx and taken my git to the next level.
This is not goodbye from me. I will have a bit of a rest first (so
might be offline for a few weeks).

• There are 30 open pull requests for Quickstarts that I'm hoping you
• (and Cameron) can help me finalise.
• There are also comments on some of the Quickstarts that I want to
• follow up in a bit more detail.
• I discovered a doc issue in trac that I can probably address as well.

I know that the Google Code-In program might be working with some of the
Quickstarts, so that is an exciting opportunity to put some of them to the test.
Thanks
Felicity
