[openstack-community] [upstream] Getting the training material ready: Landslide or hieroglyph?
by Stefano Maffulli 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello folks, Upstream Training Vancouver is open and people have started to sign up. Tim Freund and Chris Ricker are two confirmed trainers, we're waiting for at least one more trainer to confirm availability but as in other cases, the more the merrier: we will need help in the classroom and after the summit, with online mentoring. We'll be using this mailing list to coordinate, using the tag [upstream] in the subject. One of the first things to do is to fix the slides for Vancouver. They are in a git repo: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/training-guides/tree/doc/upstream-t… Currently they are in landslide format, although there was a request to port them to Hieroglyph in order to reduce the requirements.txt in all our projects. I have made an attempt at porting to Hiero https://review.openstack.org/#/c/132395/ but at the same time Sean Roberts started setting things up for landslide in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/141226/ I think we need to just pick one format, I don't care much which, and provide the content to trainers. Thoughts? /stef

OpenStack User Groups get a new home It’s easy to stay in touch with OpenStack birds-of-a-feather wherever you are, from India to Italy, with the new OpenStack User Groups portal. Even with events all over the globe, it's super simple to stay current — join a group, and you’ll be notified of new events when they're created. The facets of the OpenStack integrated release Thierry Carrez looks into the various meanings the "integrated release" ended up having in our history, and see how we can better convey that information through separate tags. DefCore Process 9 Point Graphic balances Community, Vendor, Goverance Rob Hirschfeld has been working on the OpenStack DefCore process for nearly 3 years and he recognizes that the number #1 challenge of the effort remains how to explain it simply.
