We need your help! This is a community driven project to provide the user group community access to OpenStack training materials. We cannot make this work without your help.
There are a few ways to get involved. The easiest way is to use the training guides. Look at the end of each section and you will see the Submit a Bug link. When you find something that can be improved or fixed, submit a bug by clicking on the link.
If you want to get involved with the effort around OpenStack community training, read on, here are the options:
Attending a user group using the training materials. The OpenStack community training started at the SFBay OpenStack User Group. More information on this user group and others using the training guides on the OpenStack User Groups page.
Teach / Lead a user group using the training materials. Awesome! Your experience will not only give you more experience with OpenStack, but you will help some people find new jobs. We have put all the information about How To Run An OpenStack Hackathon here.
Help create the training pages.
We are currently working on creating the Associate Training Guide. It is the first of four training guides. We are using the Install Guide, Administration Guides, Developer Documentation, and Aptira supplied content as the sources for most of the Associate Training Guide. The basic idea is that we use XML include statements to actually use the source content to create new pages. We aim to use as much of the material as possible from existing documentation. By doing this we reuse and improve the existing docs. The topics in the Associate Training Guide are in a bunch of KanBan story board cards. Each card in the story board represents something that an Associate trainee needs to learn. But first things first, you need to get some basic tools and accounts installed and configured before you can really start.
Getting Accounts and Tools: We can't do this without operators and developers using and creating the content. Anyone can contribute content. You will need the tools to get started. Go to the Getting Tools and Accounts page.
Pick a Card: Once you have your tools ready to go, you can assign some work to yourself. Go to the Training Trello/KanBan storyboard and assign a card / user story from the Sprint Backlog to yourself. If you do not have a Trello account, no problem, just create one. Email [email protected] and you will have access.
Create the Content: Each card / user story from the KanBan story board will be a separate chunk of content that you will add to the openstack-manuals repository openstack-training sub-project. More details on creating training content here.
