Open Stack

Hi Frans,



Definitely. You can follow the progress here for an introductory course on
OpenStack. This is a work in progress and not completed yet. Sean, Colin,
Pranav and the other members of the training guides/docs team are working
hard on them and all the material is opensource

Hello Bhavya,



I am the co-organiser of the Indian OpenStack User group and would be happy
to get you guys started. We are in the process of creating a set of
materials to give out to universities and help foster openstack growth. We
have held suck seminars and workshops at several colleges already and are
happy to come and give talks at your college to help you get started.



Please contact me off list to discuss.



Regards,

Thanks for the suggestions Stefano,

I tried finding relevant information on the User Groups How to page but
that gives more information on how to establish and run user groups. I
agree general attendees would be people new to *using* openstack but what I
am talking of is getting it to University level. Till now, the user groups
are responsible for interacting with universities heads and then inviting
them over. If we have groups at Universities then it would be very much be
possible to organize some events in the universities as well, organized and
managed by the interested students and faculties. This may however be
limited to basics but still it would help the student community as well.



We at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India are
planning to work in OpenStack, but when it comes to setting up a proper
team, there are only 2 or at maximum 4 students actually aware of it. It
would be beneficial in every university to bring up such groups so that
more interaction and participation is there, as per one of the motive of
the Open Source Community.

I'm sure everybody here thinks those are a good idea :)

Cal State University in San Francisco has a group deploying and testing
OpenStack in the campus:
http://commons.sfsu.edu/report-openstack-project-campus. I know this
group is now working on an Havana-based prototype.

Well... user groups are for whoever shows up at the meeting, honestly.
We encourage all coordinators of user groups to check constantly with
the participants to the meetings to see what topics they would like to
see covered: if participants ask to touch development issues then offer
talks about developing OpenStack. But most of the times user groups
attract people that want to get started *using* openstack, covering
topics from first deployments, support proof of concepts.

Have you looked at the Howto
http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackUserGroups/HowTo for user groups? I
think it has valuable suggestions also for student groups.
