Ways to Communicate in OpenStack
================================
- Talking in IRC Channels & Meetings
- Wiki Pages
- Etherpads
- Mailing Lists
IRC Channels
============
- Project Channels:
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/IRC
- Each project and working group has its own channel
- The common syntax: #openstack-<name-of-project>
- Meeting Channels:
- #openstack-meeting, #openstack-meeting-cp, etc.
- Meetings typically follow an agenda
- Most projects use the OpenStack wiki to post agendas
- IRC meetings: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/
- Others: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings
.. note::
There are a finite number of meeting channels so that meetings are
spread around. This is enforced by infra. The #openstack-meeting-cp
channel is special in that it is dedicated to cross project efforts.
IRC Logs
========
- Logs of meetings and channels are archived so that they can be
referenced later on
- Meeting Logs: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/
- Channel Logs: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/
Exercise 1
==========
Join the channel of the project(s) you are interested in and find the
logs from the most recent meeting.
Wiki Pages
==========
- Each project and working group also has its own wiki page
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Main_Page
- Good source of info about when and in what channel regular meetings are held
- Generally has information about who the PTL and cores are
Exercise 2
==========
Look up when the next meeting is for the channel you joined and where
the meeting is conducted (#openstack-meeting, #openstack-meeting-3, etc).
Etherpads
=========
- Common place to have people in a project collaborate on larger projects
and planning of events
- No master list of etherpads - harder to find what you are looking for
without having looked at it before or without asking for the URL
- `https://etherpad.openstack.org <https://etherpad.openstack.org>`_
Mailing Lists (ML)
==================
- More than 40 different ML's
- http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
- Way for people to communicate to a larger group than those that
are on IRC
- All emails are archived
- The `Mailing Lists <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists>`_ wiki
page describes how to subscribe to a list and describes some popular lists
Exercise 3
==========
Look through the list of mailing lists and subscribe to at least
one list of interest. Once subscribed, locate the archives
for that ML.
