The OpenStack Summit is the largest conference for the open source cloud platform OpenStack, and the only one where I can get free OpenStack training, learn how to contribute code upstream to the project, and meet with other users to learn how they\u2019ve been using OpenStack in production. The Summit is an opportunity for me to bring back knowledge about <\/span><b>[Why you want to attend! What are you hoping to learn? What would benefit your team?]<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and share it with our team, while helping us get to know similar OpenStack-minded teams from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies like Commonwealth Bank, Tencent and American Airlines will be presenting, and technical sessions will demonstrate how teams are integrating other open source projects, like Kubernetes with OpenStack, to optimize their infrastructure. I\u2019ll also be able to give Project Teams feedback about OpenStack so our user needs can be incorporated into upcoming software releases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can browse past Summit content at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/videos\">openstack.org\/videos<\/a> to see a sample of the conference talks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The OpenStack Summit is the opportunity for me to expand my OpenStack knowledge, network and skills.
