The Good Docs Project crossed a major milestone in May and partnered with our first major organization: GitLab! They officially invited us to become a member of their Open Source Partners Program.

As one of our first projects together, my fellow Good Docs colleague Aaron Peters and I partnered with GitLab to write a blog entry for about how we use GitLab in our release planning and management.

Here’s a highlight from the post:

The Good Docs Project recently achieved a significant milestone: releasing version v1.0.0 of our project. It was an exciting moment for our community of contributors dedicated to improving the quality of software documentation by sharing best practices — the first time we felt confident putting our production-ready documentation templates into the world for other software projects to review, use, and help us improve.

Organizing and executing a release of this magnitude requires extensive planning and sophisticated project management tools. Luckily, our community uses GitLab, so we had everything we needed at our disposal.
