\"Laying<\/a>

Laying down the building blocks for the new release<\/p><\/div>\n

We’re doing it again, bigger: the OpenStack Foundation is delivering a training program to accelerate the speed at which new OpenStack developers are successful at integrating their own roadmap into that of the OpenStack project.\u00a0 If you’re a new OpenStack contributor or plan on becoming one soon, you should sign up for the next OpenStack Upstream Training in Paris, November 1-2.<\/a> Participation is strongly advised also for first time participants to OpenStack Design Summit. We’re doing it again before the Paris Summit, as we did in Atlanta<\/a>, only bigger.<\/p>\n

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<\/b> and technical conventions<\/b>. These can significantly slow down the speed at which changes by newcomers are integrated in the OpenStack project.<\/p>\n

OpenStack Foundation partnered with Upstream University to 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 live two-day class<\/a> teaches developers to navigate the intricacies of the project’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. Get all the details on the wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enrolment for the training session in Paris is open: register and reserve your seat for OpenStack Upstream Training in Paris, November 1-2<\/a>. UPDATE: the event sold out but please register in the waiting list as we go through it and include people regularly<\/del> we can’t accept more participants –We’ll have more opportunities at future summits.<\/strong><\/p>\n
