OpenStack Events
================
The OpenStack Foundation organizes multiple events per year to bring together
the community as well as companies and individuals interested in the technology
and to embrace and encourage open collaboration.
OpenStack/Open Infrastructure Summit
------------------------------------
The `Summits <https://www.openstack.org/summit/other-summits/>`_ are bi-annual
events with thousands of attendees from all around the globe. 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 <https://www.openstack.org/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 <opendevconf.com>`_ 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 <https://www.openstack.org/community/events/>`_ when the next one is
in your area!
OpenStack/OpenInfra Days
------------------------
`OpenStack Days <https://www.openstack.org/community/events/openstackdays>`_
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
<https://docs.openstack.org/upstream-training/>`_ 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!
