Stewardship: Bringing More Leadership and Vision to OpenStack
Upstream Development

Are you curious about the newly formed Stewardship Working Group? Do you want to find out about the work we're doing?  Are you wondering how you can participate in the group? TC, PTL, or core reviewer burnout got you down? Do you wonder what it is to be a 'leader' in the OpenStack Community? Have you heard the term "servant leadership" but don't know what it means?

Then this session is for you! Consider this our in-person, live FAQ for the community. We will talk about some of the changes the TC has been considering making to governance policy, and some of the resources we're working with to help provide leadership growth within the community. We would also love to hear your thoughts on what leadership in OpenStack means to you. Facts and details provided by Thierry Carrez, digressions and jokes by Monty Taylor, musical interludes and philosophizing on servant leadership by Colette Alexander, and moderated by Amrith Kumar.


What can I expect to learn?

Leadership training themes and ideas. Possible changes to the TC governance model. The value of visioning. What the Stewardship Working Group is actually working on. Participate in a conversation on what it means to be a leader in the OpenStack community.

Wednesday, October 26, 3:55pm-4:35pm (1:55pm - 2:35pm UTC)
