Open Stack

Project:  Glance

Attendees: ~15

What was done:

We started by introducing the core team (or whatever existed then), did a
run down of Glance API documentation especially for developers, other
references like notes for ops, best practices. We went through the
architecture of the project. A few were interested in knowing more details
and going in depth so we discussed the design patterns that exist today,
scope of improvements and any blackholes therein, auxiliary services and
performance tradeoffs etc. A lot of the discussion was free form so people
asked questions and session was interactive.


What worked:

1. The projector worked!

2. Session was free form, there was good turnout and it was interactive.
(all the good things)

3. People were serious about contributing as per their
availability/capacity to do upstream and one person showed up asking to do
reviews.


Lessons:

1. Could have been advertised more at least the session description more
customized.

2. A representative from the team could have been officially invited to the
upstream institute training.

3. The community building sessions and on-boarding sessions seem to overlap
a bit so a representative from the team could be help in those sessions for
Q&A or more interaction. Probably more collaboration/prep before the summit
for such things. ($0.02)


Cheers
