소개

With over 2000 developers from 80 different companies worldwide, OpenStack is one of the largest collaborative software-development projects. Because of its size, it is characterized by a huge diversity in social norms and technical conventions. These can significantly slow down the speed at which newcomers are successful at integrating their own roadmap into that of the OpenStack project.

We've designed a training program to help professional developers negotiate this hurdle. It shows them how to ensure their bug fix or feature is accepted in the OpenStack project in a minimum amount of time. The educational program requires students to work on real-life bug fixes or new features during two days of real-life classes and online mentoring, until the work is accepted by OpenStack. The live two-day class teaches them to navigate the intricacies of the project's technical tools and social interactions. In a followup session, the students benefit from individual online sessions to help them resolve any remaining problems they might have.

  • Faster integration of the companies product roadmap into the OpenStack release cycle
  • Successfully contribute one real world patch to an OpenStack component

  • Perform the smaller tasks.
  • Choose a question.
  • Familiarize yourself with the code of conduct.
  • Understand the conventions.
  • Explain what you do.
  • Prepare the backport.
  • Learn what's local and what's upstream.
  • Learn what distinguishes good work flow from bad work flow.
  • Quantify the delta.
  • Speed up the acceptance.

Agile for Contributors (15 min)

( slides )
  • Apply agile
  • Who is the customer?
  • Company & Upstream product owner
  • Sprint review presentation to Upstream

Contribution Simulation (2 hour)

The students make a virtual contribution simulation using Lego bricks as props, with the goal of expanding a Lego town, built by upstream. They are divided into teams; the teacher is by turns the product owner in the company and the upstream.

Contribution Planning (2 hours)

( odp slides pdf slides )


  • The students use template slides to prepare a 5-minute presentation of their planned contribution.
  • A sample presentation is given by the teacher, as an example.
  • Each student group prepares a presentation describing:
    • the contribution they plan to work on during the online sessions,
    • how they will engage with the Upstream,
    • how it contributes to the company's agenda
    • and whom they will be working with.
  • Each student group presents its slides to the class
