Get Active in Upstream Training

• There is a continuous effort in helping newcomers join our community by organizing upstream contribution trainings [5][6] before every summit.
  • 1.5 – 2 days of hands-on steps of becoming an active OpenStack contributor.
• Like everything else, this is a community effort.
  • In preparation for the Boston summit and the upcoming PTG in Atlanta, we are looking for coaches and mentors to help us make the training better.
  • If you’re interested in helping contact:

Project Team Gathering Coordination Tool

• No central scheduling, beyond assigned rooms to teams and days.
  • Each team arranges their time in their room.
  • List of etherpads [10]
• We still need centralized communication beyond each room:
  • An event IRC channel: #openstack-ptg on free node IRC
    • Do public service announcements
    • Pings from room to room.
  • An EtherCalc spreadsheet powered dynamic schedule with extra rooms available:
    • One fishbowl
    • A few dark rooms with projectors and screens (not all will have a/v equipment due to budget).
    • Infra is working on setting up EtherCalc
