How to prepare
==============
* Make sure you have a wifi enabled laptop with you.
* Download the prepared virtual machine image and some environment
for running the image (We suggest VirtualBox):
* Image: http://bit.ly/vm-2020-virtual-v1
* Prepare an environment by yourself from scratch:
* Create a virtual machine on your laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 installed and
6+ GB of RAM.
* Alternatively, you can use your virtual machine on a public cloud.
* Check that you can ssh from your laptop to the virtual machine
* Check that :command:`apt install` works on the virtual machine
* Read and complete the
`Setup IRC <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/irc.html>`_
guide.
* Go to the `Account Setup
<https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/accounts.html>`_
page and complete the steps documented there to setup your OpenStack
Foundation Account and accounts for accessing OpenStack's bug and task
tracking systems.
* Prepare git in the virtual machine that was created above:
* Complete the ``Configure Git`` steps documented on the
`Setup and Learn GIT
<https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/git.html>`_
page. If you are not familiar with Git you may want to also read the
content under the ``Learning Git`` section.
* Go to the `Setting Up Your Gerrit Account
<https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/setup-gerrit.html>`_
page and follow the steps for ``Sign Up``,
``Individual Contributor License Agreement``,
and optionally, the ``Setup SSH Keys``.
.. note::
Aside from the sections above, we will cover everything else that is in
`the Contributor Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/>`_ during
the classes.
.. note::
If you are attempting the steps above before the Upstream Institute class
and need assistance you can find mentors in the #openstack-upstream-institute
channel on irc.oftc.net.
