OpenStack Upstream Institute: Day 1 - Sponsored by Lenovo (RSVP Required)

OpenStack Upstream Institute is an intensive program designed to share knowledge about the different ways of contributing to OpenStack like providing new features, writing documentation, participating in working groups, and so forth. The educational program is built on the principle of open collaboration and will teach the students how to find information and navigate the intricacies of the project’s technical tools and social interactions in order to get the contributions accepted.
