Overview

Project Goals

  • Provide a structured training program to enable skill development for maintaining, consuming, and contributing to OpenStack
  • Align to the OpenStack Foundation certification program as it evolves
  • Increase accuracy and usability of documentation and training by engaging user groups and community members across the world
  • Increase the amount of skilled engineers and developers in the hiring pool for OpenStack operators and developers
  • Enable underrepresented / economically disadvantaged users groups and communities (Africa, Vietnam, Etc) to develop valuable and marketable skills.
  • We will be targeting the user group and university audiences first while partnering with commercial interests like Aptira. Commercial interests are encouraged to use and contribute to the project.
  • We aim to have as many commercial training programs use this project for the 'core' of their training. It will only improve the quality of the content while limiting the quantity to just the very most important bits.
  • Reuse the openstack foundation guides with some additional training specific pages
  • Target 80% OpenStack manuals reuse
  • Same contribution process as existing guides
  • Training material and lab work will be based on defcore/refstack (this work is ongoing so no project impact at this time)

Project Status

Project Sub-Groups

  • stable: (Pranav Salunke/dguitarbite leads) keep the existing training materials up to date and tracking with the current documentation and stable release code. Unless there needs to be a major change, majority of the Stable work will be done through bugs.
  • development: (Sean Roberts/sarob leads) work on creating the new materials. All the Development work will be done through blueprints.
  • testing: (Matjaz Pancur/matjazp leads) curators of the quiz and test questions. The Testing work will be blueprints (new features) and bugs (updating existing materials).
  • infrastructure: (Roger Luethi/rluethi, Pranav Salunke/dguitarbite leads) maintain the trainer tools and testing system. The Infrastructure work will be blueprints (new features) and bugs (updating existing materials).
  • audio visual (AV): (TBD lead) create images, video, and graphics that promote and assist the training project

Team Responsibilities

  • sub-team leads/core-reviewers:
  • attend weekly IRC meets,
  • attend core sprints when called,
  • work through gerrit reviews of bugs and patches
  • setup ZNC/ IRC bouncer and support new contributors via. IRC. Use https://www.bouncerstation.com/instructions/ to setup IRC bouncer.
  • reviewers, contributors:
  • when you can, attend weekly IRC meets,
  • when you can, attend core sprints when called,
  • work through gerrit reviews of bugs and patches,
  • contribute patches
  • community:
  • work on submitting bugs, fixing bugs,
  • suggest new material.
  • All are welcome to participate.

How To

Create a Bug

Create a Blueprint

  1. The blueprint is created here https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-training-guides/+addspec, only the name, title, and summary need to be filled out
  2. Submit a spec RST patch based on the template https://github.com/openstack/training-guides/blob/master/specs/template.rst
  3. Gerrit reviews are the debate and refinement
  4. Final RST patch either is rejected or approved
  5. If the RST patch is approved, then it gets merged, the blueprint is approved, and the RST details are manually updated into the blueprint
  6. The blueprint can only be approved for current release
  7. Blueprints not approved or not implemented during a release cycle need the RST patch be resubmitted for the next cycle

Fix a Bug or Add code to Implement a Blueprint

Book structure

  • each book needs goals that slightly overlap with the previous and next
  • 10 question quiz and 1 scenario at the end of each chapter
  • 40+ assessment broken down by each section/question representing a different chapter
  • hierarchy: set -> book -> chapter -> section
  • book topics
  • openstack associate engineer
  • openstack operator engineer
  • openstack developer engineer
  • openstack devOps architect
  • publish to docs.openstack.org/training-guides

Book openstack associate

  • training would take 1 month self paced, (2) 2 week periods with a user group meeting, or 16 hours instructor led. Some time set aside for distro specific training.
  • basic knowledge of core OpenStack components (Compute, Block, Network, Dashboard)
  • for the rest see the associate guide online

Book openstack operations engineer

  • training would take 2.5 months self paced, (5) 2 week periods with a user group meeting, or 40 hours instructor led with 40 hours of self paced lab time. May set aside some time for distro specific training.
  • for the rest see the operator guide online

Book openstack development engineer

  • build on concepts from Operator training
  • combine how to contribute and working with CI guides into a developers guide
  • training would take 2.5 months self paced, (5) 2 week periods with a user group meeting, or 40 hours instructor led with 40 hours of self paced lab time. May set aside some time for distro specific training.
  • outline is here

Book openstack devOps architect

  • training would take 6 months or (12) 2 week periods with a user group meeting. 240 hours of self paced lab time.
  • Meant to be very hard to complete. Public contribution must be a considerable part of the work completed.
  • The Architect focuses on a specific OpenStack project as a specialization and becomes a working member of that project. The Architect training will be all about becoming a functioning member of the OpenStack open source community.
  • speaking at user groups
  • summit session submissions should all count towards karma/contribution
  • Passing DevOps training would make the person desirable as an employee.
  • Passing DevOps training would make the person desirable as a core contributor to any project

Incubation Plan

OpenStack projects generally start as stackforge projects in the GitHub organization Stackforge here https://github.com/stackforge. There are some simple rules, but not much team structure or contribution is required. The Training Guides project is a bit unusual as the project started and has been located within the openstack/openstack-manuals repository since mid 2013 already. Due to this project already being in the Openstack github organization, it will move from openstack/openstack-manuals to openstack/training-guides. The patch to do that is here https://review.openstack.org/#/c/96334/. The Training Guides project will continue to publish html to http://docs.openstack.org/training-guides.

The Training Guides project desires to be an incubated OpenStack project. This desire will be discussed with the Technology Committee for Juno Milestone-2. In the meantime, sarob and annegentle will work on the Incubation Plan below.

The official TC governance is here https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Approved/Incubation Below are the incubation requirements from the TC from https://github.com/openstack/governance/blob/master/reference/incubation-integration-requirements.rst as of 03jun2014. This RST is still under development. Likely our incubation proposal will be debated within the TC in an etherpad.

The TC will evaluate the project scope and its complementarity with existing integrated projects and other official programs, look into the project technical choices, and check a number of requirements, including (but not limited to):

Scope

Project must have a clear and defined scope.

We do. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Training-guides#Project_Goals


Project's scope should represent a measured progression for OpenStack as a whole.

As the training-guides will be following the documentation project, we believe this is the case.


Project should not inadvertently duplicate functionality present in other OpenStack projects. If they do, they should have a clear plan and timeframe to prevent long-term scope duplication.

We are including existing documentation at build, so there is reuse rather than duplication.


Project should leverage existing functionality in other OpenStack projects as much as possible

See above.


Maturity

Project should have an active team of contributors

We are working on that. Right much of the work is being done outside of github. We will be fixing that over June.


Project should not have a major architectural rewrite planned

No major changes are planned.


Process

Project must be hosted under stackforge (and therefore use git as its VCS)

We are working this out with the documentation, infra, and TC. Right now the data is under the openstack-manuals repo.


Project must obey OpenStack coordinated project interface (such as tox, pbr, global-requirements...)

Not applicable


Project should use oslo libraries or oslo-incubator where appropriate

Not applicable


If project is not part of an existing program, it needs to file for a new program concurrently with the Incubation request, and fill the corresponding requirements.

Training-guides will be part of the Documentation program


Project must have a well-defined core review team, with reviews distributed amongst the team (and not being primarily done by one person)

Right now it is two people. We have spun out into five sub-projects. Each sub-project lead will be a core-reviewer at least. We should end up with 7-8 core reviewers over the entire project.


Reviews should follow the same criteria as OpenStack projects (2 +2s before +A)

Training-guides will follow the standard practice


Project should use the official openstack lists for discussion

We will push our ML discussions to docs ML. We already use IRC meetings.


API

Project APIs should be reasonably stable

Not applicable


Project must have a REST API with at least a JSON entity representation

Not applicable


Project must have a Python client library API for its REST API

Not applicable


QA

Project must have a basic devstack-gate job set up

TBD


Documentation / User support

Project must have docs for developers who want to contribute to the project

http://docs.openstack.org/training-guides/content/under-construction.html


Project should have API documentation for devs who want to add to the API, updated when the code is updated

Not applicable


Legal requirements

Project must be licensed under the Apache License v2

Licensed under Apache License v2 and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 License as per the OpenStack documentation program projects lead.


Project must have no library dependencies which effectively restrict how the project may be distributed or deployed [1]

Content has no known dependencies


All contributors to the project must have signed the CLA

This is the case


Project must have no known trademark issues [2]

This is the case
