Kendall Nelson 70fd9f791b [upstream] Update Relevant Actors Module 
Removed slides that were less valuable to students and added more
helpful exercises. Renamed the section to make the name better fit
the content. Since this module is more focused on Stackalytics, 'Metrics'
is a more related title than 'Relevant Actors'.

OpenStack Upstream Training

Abstract

With over 2,000 developers from over 300 different organizations worldwide, OpenStack is one of the largest collaborative software-development projects. Because of its size, it is characterized by a huge diversity in social norms and technical conventions. These can significantly slow down the speed at which newcomers are successful at integrating their own roadmap into that of the OpenStack project.

We've designed a training program to help professional developers negotiate this hurdle. It shows them how to ensure their bug fix or feature is accepted in the OpenStack project in a minimum amount of time. The educational program requires students to work on real-life bug fixes or new features during two days of real-life classes and online mentoring, until the work is accepted by OpenStack. The live two-day class teaches them to navigate the intricacies of the project's technical tools and social interactions. In a followup session, the students benefit from individual online sessions to help them resolve any remaining problems they might have.
