OpenStack Upstream Institute
OpenStack Upstream Institute is an intensive program designed to share knowledge about the different ways of contributing to OpenStack. It covers providing new features, writing documentation, participating in working groups, and other aspects of getting involved in the community.
The educational program is built on the principle of open collaboration and will teach you how to find information and navigate the intricacies of the project’s technical tools and social interactions in order to get your contributions accepted.
The workshop focuses on hands-on practice where you can use a development environment to work on real-life bug fixes or new features and learn how to test, prepare and upload them for review.
As a participant in this workshop you are also given the opportunity to join a mentoring program to get further help and guidance on your journey to become an active and successful member of the OpenStack community.
