Administration tasks for Upstream Training
Engagement
Used to create the event. The signup process requires applicants to specify their intentions, which areas to focus on.
Engage with applicants at regular intervals to make sure they are fully engaged and understand what they sign up for. 4 weeks before the event send them a notification to start engaging with teachers and mentors. 2 weeks before the event, remind them to pick a bug and setup their development environment.
Email messages
First welcome email:
Nice to e-meet you and thanks for subscribing to the OpenStack
University course.
I see from your submission that you're willing to start to
improve your Free Software contribution skills. This is exactly
what it is about, although most people think it is just for
beginners :-) Could you send me a few URLs of your past
contributions ?
A week before the course, we will choose a contribution that
matches
your expectations. Something not too easy so you get to learn as
much as possible. But not too difficult either so you can
complete it in a reasonable timeframe. Do you already have
something in mind ? Or a specific contribution skill that you
would like to improve ?
Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions regarding the
training program.
Second email
TL;DR: pick three bugs from [3] and mail them asap :-) The OpenStack Upstream Training[1] is just one week away, in Atlanta[2]. Time flies ! Could you please pick a few (3 or so) bugs (from the low hanging fruit list[3] or elsewhere, it is up to you) that look like good candidates for you to work on during the training ? Send me your choice by mail as soon as possible and I'll help you pick one. The goal of the training will be to get your work accepted upstream. It is best to chose a contribution that looks easy. Even the simplest work is an opportunity to learn. Keep in mind that we will get started next week-end (10/11 may 2014) and that we will meet online afterwards, a few times a week, until the work is complete. During the training you will need: * A laptop with Wifi * A virtual machine running Ubuntu (or any other operating system you feel confortable with when working on OpenStack) It is worth double checking that this works well in advance.

Lego management
The Lego need to be shipped weeks ahead of time to volunteers near the convention center. They will help assemble the buildings and bring them to the facility the morning when the training starts, or the evening before, as soon as the rooms are ready.
After the class, the Lego can be displayed in the expo floor.
After the show, the Lego need to be packaged and shipped back to FNTech facilities.
Lego material
- estimate per student 750g of assorted bulk Lego bricks for the creative session
- at least two buildings per classroom of the Lego City series
Currently the Foundation owns London Bridge, Sidney Opera House, Pet Store, Cinema, French Restaurant.
