Hello all!
I'm trying to gather how much interest there is do an Upstream University at the Austin summit as we've done at the summits since Paris. Here's an excerpt from the training guides about the program [1]:
We've designed a training program to help professional developers negotiate this hurdle. It shows them how to ensure their bug fix or feature is accepted in the OpenStack project in a minimum amount of time. The educational program requires students to work on real-life bug fixes or new features during two days of real-life classes and online mentoring, until the work is accepted by OpenStack. The live two-day class teaches them to navigate the intricacies of the project's technical tools and social interactions. In a followup session, the students benefit from individual online sessions to help them resolve any remaining problems they might have.
In order for this program to be successful, we need mentors and students/mentees. If you're available April 23-24 before the summit starts in Austin, TX and want to help others and mentor or just want to learn more on contributing to OpenStack, please sign up and check the box that indicates you're interested in the Upstream University.

Even if you're unable to participate, please consider spreading the word so this event can be a success!
