The event in +Spring is located in North America and the Fall occasions are alternating +somewhere between Europe and Asia. + +The event is designed to bring together users, operators and developers to +discuss feedback and future plans and you will also find a lot of options to +collaborate with representatives from adjacent communities. + +To see how OpenStack and further OpenStack Foundation projects are utilized you +will find exhibitors at the Market Place area. + +The sessions are grouped into two major parts, the conference and the Forum. + +Conference +++++++++++ + +The conference sessions consist of 40-minute-long presentations and panel +discussions organized into tracks, like 'Public Clouds', 'Containers', or +'Telecom/NFV'. + +There is a Call For Papers (CFP) process before each Summit where anyone can +propose sessions for the upcoming event. After the CFP deadline the proposals +go through a community vote after which a group of track chairs decide about +the final content for each track. + +Forum ++++++ + +The Forum sessions are also 40 minutes long, but the sessions are intended to +be working sessions as opposed to presentations. + +The purpose of the Forum is to provide space for the developer and user +community to get together and discuss feedback and find solution to problems +and new challenges and requirements. + +The Forum sessions are proposed by the community through a proposal period and +the final sessions are selected by a committee. + +You can find both the conference and Forum sessions on the Summit schedule. + +Project Teams Gathering (PTG) +----------------------------- + +This event is created to provide space and time for developers and operators to +get together and have detailed technical discussions. + +The `PTG `_ is one week long with working +sessions organized in parallel tracks. The week is devided between Working +Group, SIG, cross-project and project team sessions and further sessions +dedicated to operations related discussions. + +PTGs are scheduled to the beginning of each release cycle which makes it +possible to do a more thorough release planning and ensure that the more +complicated proposals are discussed with all the affected teams. + +This event is recommended to developers, operators and end users who are +already involved in community activities. If you are a new comer you might +want to consider one of the OpenStack Summits first where you can find several +sessions to help you find your way within the community. + +OpenDev +------- + +`OpenDev `_ is a small event designed for discussing new +innovative technologies and use cases that are relevant to open infrastructure +like Edge Computing or CI/CD. + +The event is occasionally co-located with the OpenStack Summit, in which case +it is accessible to Summit attendees as well as a standalone event. + +Community-organized Events +========================== + +There are community organized events all year all around the globe. Be sure +you `check `_ when the next one is +in your area! + +OpenStack/OpenInfra Days +------------------------ + +`OpenStack Days `_ +events are similar to the OpenStack Summits that are organized by the local +community, users groups and companies. + +The events are one or days long and filled with mainly presentations and panel +discussions about the latest hot topics in the community's life. It gives you a +great opportunity to meet the local community and find people who are +interested in the same challenges and technology as you are. Connecting with +people in the same region where you are gives you the advantage to be able to +reach out easier to them later as they are in the same time zone, maybe even in +the same city. + +In some cases there are training sessions and workshops as well and you can +the `OpenStack Upstream Institute +`_ training on the agenda as +well. + +Meet-ups +-------- + +Meet-ups are organized by local user groups with different cadence. They are a +few hours long with a few presentations, discussion topics and some snacks. + +Look for meet-ups in your area and if you cannot find one you can go ahead and +organize! diff --git a/doc/source/operators/index.rst b/doc/source/operators/index.rst index 16b6eb0..d97c799 100644 --- a/doc/source/operators/index.rst +++ b/doc/source/operators/index.rst @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ Operators' Contributor Guide /common/irc /common/accounts /common/communication + /common/events /common/git /common/setup-gerrit /operators/participate diff --git a/doc/source/users/index.rst b/doc/source/users/index.rst index 333131c..3ab1ac1 100644 --- a/doc/source/users/index.rst +++ b/doc/source/users/index.rst @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ Users' Contributor Guide /common/irc /common/accounts /common/communication + /common/events /common/git /common/setup-gerrit /common/governance
