OpenStack Upstream Institute

OpenStack University covers the team and activities around the upstream collaboration trainings we hold prior to the OpenStack Summits twice a year. It also includes the efforts around helping to on board new contributors and help them to become part of the community.

The team consists of liaisons from the project teams and volunteers from the community. The team members are working on to improve the training format and material and they are also participating in the on-site trainings based on their availability.

We are looking into bringing the training to OpenStack Days events, where we are looking for local team and community members to join and help out, and to other related industry events. You can find the mentors participating in each occasion of the training on the OpenStack Upstream Institute Occasions wiki page.

The team communicates on IRC, on the #openstack-upstream-institute channel on Freenode. Meetings are held weekly in the #openstack-meeting-3 channel on Freenode on Monday at 2000 UTC (odd weeks) and on Tuesday at 0900 UTC (even weeks). Meeting notes are here and here.
