Open Stack

Hi all,

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems we have quite a few interested 
places to host pre or post summit events (Australia, China, HK, India, 
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam (Danang!)).

The discussion raised some comments - to summarise them briefly:

1) Format of event - a dedicated event, or possibly tied in with another 
conference

2) Who are the people? Foundation Staff? PTL? Core Developers? Other?
==> Need to know this before organising the event
==> Posting on openstack-dev may be the next step?

3) How to get the experts to come
==> Maybe: hosting the event in a holiday area, or encouraging them to 
have a holiday there
==> Maybe: asking the Foundation, or other sponsors for some funding for 
airfares/accommodation


For the format of the event (#1), what do your communities desire? Which 
ones of these would be desirable? Maybe choose the top 5 ?

1. a generic overview of OpenStack
2. an overview of OpenStack from a business perspective
2. standard horizon demo
3. project overview for each project
4. how to contribute
5. lots of interactive question and answer time
6. overview of {nova, swift, neutron, glance} APIs
7. 'hack fest' to setup dev environment and allow people to become ATC
8. tips on how to run the community, find sponsors etc
9. session on how to develop applications to use Openstack APIs/SDKs
10. discussion of operations best practices
11. information on vendor products available
12. discussion of OpenStack Continuous integration
13. workshop on translating OpenStack into your language
14. case studies from openstack operators
15. 'sprint' around a specific task - eg documentation
16. ... ?

Also: is this a 4 hour event? a 1 day event? 2 days?


With an idea of the kind of things that might be useful for the 
different communities, we can work to find people ...


Regards,


Tom
