[openstack-community] [Upstream] A trello board to manage the trainees
by Stefano Maffulli 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hello folks I have been playing with trello and google sheet, integrated by this fantastic tool called zapier.com today. Basically, every time there is a new applicant for Upstream Training a new item is created on trello. Mentors can then use Trello to move applicants forward as they make progress in their training. I'm looking for volunteers to test the system. The Trello board has 5 states: - Applicants - Mentor selected - Assigned work item - In progress - Completed The list of Applicants contains the name of the applicant, affiliation and gender (so we know how to address them), and each card says what they have written in their application, plus their email. Mentors should check the list of Applicants, assign themselves the card and move the card forward in the queue. Any takers? Contact me offline to be invited to the Trello board. (I already added Sylvain and Tim since Trello knows them already :)) Cheers, stef

[openstack-community] [upstream] Start engaging with students
by Stefano Maffulli 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hello folks (especially upstream trainers and mentors) I'm planning on sending a notification to all people who registered for Upstream Training Vancouver, telling them the next steps. In the past we've asked people to start sharing their thoughts and plans ahead of the training and engage with the mentors, so they can help students pick a low-hanging-fruit bug and get their dev-environment ready for the live sessions. I'll send all applicants something along the lines below, with instructions to contact the alias upstream-training(a)openstack.org (me and Chris Ricker are the recipients, so far, but adding Sylvain and Tim for sure; any more volunteers?) Expect traffic to increase in the next weeks :) Cheers, stef Nice to e-meet you and thanks for subscribing to the OpenStack University course. I see from your submission that you're willing to start to improve your Free Software contribution skills. This is exactly what it is about, although most people think it is just for beginners :-) Could you send me a few URLs of your past contributions ? A week before the course, we will choose a contribution that matches your expectations. Something not too easy so you get to learn as much as possible. But not too difficult either so you can complete it in a reasonable timeframe. Do you already have something in mind ? Or a specific contribution skill that you would like to improve ? Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions regarding the training program.

[openstack-community] Contact sharing
by Nicolae Paladi 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

Hi, as a meetup organiser I often have issues finding quality speakers (well known issue) and also sponsors for the meetup (also known but less spoken about). However, each individual group organiser has already a set of company contacts/speakers. So, how about having a shared list (with access restricted to meetup organisers) containing useful contacts. It could have the following structure: * Companies: contact person, type of sponsorship, comments. * Speakers: contact, affiliation, link to presentation (if available) This will allow meetup organisers to contact companies regarding sponsorship. If a company is sponsoring meetup events in country X, they might be interested in doing it in country Y (or not, but it’s worth a try). Do you see any disadvantages with this approach? Alternatively, can it be improved? Cheers, Nicolae

[openstack-community] [Upstream] Volunteer Lego builders in/near Vancouver
by Stefano Maffulli 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello folks, as you probably know Upstream Training uses Lego sets to simulate open source collaboration. It's a fun session with lots of educational value. We have a huge amount of Lego to build before May 16 and we need a place to build the sets in Vancouver or near (Seattle would work well, I think). In the past, we had volunteers receive the Lego sets, assembled them with friends, family, other volunteers and brought them to the training session. It's a lot of fun. Are there people in/near Vancouver interested in receiving a shipment of the Lego sets, assemble them and deliver them on Friday evening or Saturday morning to the convention center? Cheers, stef

[openstack-community] [Ask OpenStack] Scheduled maintenance
by Stefano Maffulli 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hello folks the service Ask OpenStack on https://ask.openstack.org will be down for maintenance on Monday, April 6 from 9am PDT for around 3-4 hours. The downtime is needed to move the service on new infrastructure, powered by OpenStack and puppet script. Once we move to the new server we'll have more upgrades, fixes and all. Marton Kiss, Jeremy Stanley, Evgeny Fadeev and myself will be on call to make the switch as smooth and painless as possible for everybody. Details about the move are described on the spec http://specs.openstack.org/openstack-infra/infra-specs/specs/migrate_askbot… Those interested can follow progress of the tasks on https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2000158 Regards, Stef
