[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Fwd: [Announce] Call for Proposals for Doc Sprint Summit v2.0

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Robert,

I agree that this is a great idea. With five people working in a book 
sprint, I think the Evergreen docs would be in a great place by the time 
the Doc Camp is done.

I would be interested in attending. I'm sure on the able yet, but I'll 
see if I can make it happen.
