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.

OpenStack Upstream Training

upstream-details irc accounts git upstream-archives

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.
