If I Don't Live in US, How Do I Become a Significant Contributor to OpenStack?
How to Contribute

Most of the OpenStack project, workgroup, and comittee meetings are happening in US or during US working hours. As someone who lives outside of US, how do I keep up with the latest development of OpenStack, and effectively contribute and collaborate with other OpenStack developers and members?

In this panel, we will have non-US managers and developers who will share their challenges, experiences, and learnings to be integrated into the OpenStack community, and to be a significant contributer to OpenStack. Also, we will brainstorm on ideas on how we can make OpenStack a true global movement.


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees will learn about more effective ways to be integrated into the OpenStack decision making and major technology develop directions and processes. Attendees will also have an opportunity to provide feedback to the Foundation & Community on how we can work together to make OpenStack a true global movement

Tuesday, October 25, 11:25am-12:05pm (9:25am - 10:05am UTC)
