Doc Sprint at SaltConf - Write the Docs for Open Source

Details
Join us this month for a combined Documentation Sprint at SaltConf18 (https://saltconf.com/) with our awesome sponsor, SaltStack (https://saltstack.com/)!
This is an excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience writing open source documentation. At this day-long event, you'll work alongside SaltStack Engineers to improve documentation for Salt (https://saltstack.com/salt-open-source/), the open source software for modern IT automation.
