Jay S. Bryant cc4aeb33d4 [upstream] Improve wording in the Closing Exercise slides 
Some of the steps on the last page of the Closing Exercise slides
was not clear.  This patch rewords a couple of the bullet points
to make it clearer what the students should do.

This patch also moves this content to the archive section given that
we did not feel we would get to this during the training session.
The team feels that time is better spent on individual project
deep dives.

OpenStack Upstream Institute

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 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 their contributions accepted. The live one and a half day class is focusing on hands-on practice like the students can use a prepared development environment to learn how to test, prepare and upload new code snippets or documentation for review. The attendees are also given the opportunity to join a mentoring program to get further help and guidance on their journey to become an active and successful member of the OpenStack community.
