<br>
a group of people interested in academia met in Boston during the<br>
unconference. I was there to take notes and facilitate this community<br>
run initiative. Here is what we agreed so far. I'm sharing it on the<br>
list to gather more ideas.<br>

<br>
OpenStack Academic Initiative<br>
<br>
Mission:<br>
<br>
* provide a place for all research academics efforts can be<br>
advertised and found, about and around OpenStack (not generic<br>
about IaaS or PaaS)<br>
* a list of papers published and ongoing research<br>
* a list of conferences about cloud<br>
* maintain a list of ideas for the companies to sponsor research<br>
like a "market"<br>
* a place for the companies to say what they need and research can<br>
execute<br>
* undergrad level, gsoc-style, time starved but there are<br>
many of them. it's important to be easy for them to<br>
contribute<br>
* masters level, more in depth work, empirical studies<br>
like performance evaluation<br>
* phd level, exploratory type of research<br>
* handle the funding, hr tasks, mentoring: who's going to manage<br>
this?<br>
* mentoring is intense and time consuming, but crucial for<br>
the success of research<br>
* provide resources, like hardware for tests, for researchers<br>
* advertise this initiative among researchers<br>
* Example: setup OpenStack tracks at a couple of relevant<br>
conference<br>
<br>
<br>
Next steps: Identify the group responsible for this initiative and<br>
define action items, deadlines and deliverables.<br>
