Kendall Nelson 7726c2cd86 [upstream] Update of Events Module 
With the recent updates to OpenStack events(i.e. the advent of the PTG),
this module needed to be reworked. There are OpenStackDays events now
as well that weren't previously mentioned. This patch adds this
new information to this module. It also renames the module to 'OpenStack
Events' because there are many more events than just the Design Summit that
students should be aware of.

Project Team Gathering (PTG)

  • A gathering of projects teams and contributors
  • Dedicated and detailed technical discussions
  • Useful for participants if they are already working with a project team

OpenStack Design Summit

Where developers meet face to face to finalize planning for the next release cycle.

How does it work?

  • Not a classic conference with presenter and audience
    • more like a collaborative brainstorming session
  • Discuss upcoming features for the next release cycle
  • Not suitable to start learning about a topic
