Participation is strongly advised also for first time participants to OpenStack Design Summit.<\/p>\n<p>With over 1000 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 <b>social norms<\/b> and <b>technical conventions<\/b>. These can significantly slow down the speed at which changes by newcomers are integrated in the OpenStack project.<\/p>\n<p>OpenStack Foundation partnered with Upstream University to <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.openstack.org\/wiki\/OpenStack_Upstream_Training\">train new OpenStack developers and documentation writers<\/a> to ensure their bug fix or feature is accepted in the OpenStack project in a minimum amount of time. Students are required 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.openstack.org\/wiki\/OpenStack_Upstream_Training\/Info\">live two-day class<\/a> teaches them to navigate the intricacies of the project&#8217;s technical tools and social interactions. In followup sessions, the students benefit from individual online sessions to help them resolve any remaining problems they might have.
