OpenStack Days

  • Regional 'Mini-Summit'

  • Endorsed by the Foundation
  • Growing in number (26 in 2016)

OpenStack Birthday Celebration

  • Held by local groups to celebrate another year of OpenStack
  • 2017 was 7th birthday of OpenStack

User Group Meetups

  • Smaller scale than OpenStack Days Events
  • Some are more development focused while others are more user and ops focused
  • https://groups.openstack.org/

Global Events and Releases

  • Each Release has two main events: PTG and the Summit
  • The PTG is scheduled around the start of a release to plan release goals
  • Summits take place around the middle of a release to exhibit accomplishments and get feedback from users on the most recent release

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
  • Not good as an entry point

Exercise 2

  • Look up the location and dates of the next PTG

Summit & Forum

  • The summit is a biannual conference with keynotes, presentations, and panel discussions

  • Forum:

    • User focused discussions at the Forum to collect feedback for developers
    • Better entry point for new contributors finding their place in the community

Types of sessions at the Forum

  • Fishbowls: Open moderated discussions
  • Project Onboarding Sessions: A place for new contributors to ask questions and get to know other contributors to the project
  • Hacking Rooms: Reservable rooms for projects to gather for technical discussions
