<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353"> - What is the first thing you should do try OpenStack?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353">I think as a new developer or operator but interested in Community, I would want to see a demo of OpenStack as used in a community setting. I suppose for Operators
this would mean more of a simple public cloud put up to support a local community on just a few pieces of hardware. For a developer, perhaps the same though the context might be more for a hackathon or a bug fix meetup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353"> - How can you build a proof of concept?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353">Yes, having the steps to build out your own community instance of OpenStack would be encouraging to take that next step. I’m actually not sure as I write this if I
would be more interested to host my own or if there was a place (OpenStack’s own Infra) where I could have my own local community sandbox. I guess having both of these options addressed might be a good thing.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353"> - Reading documentation or watching relevant summit videos<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353">If there was a series fo getting started videos I would likely watch and then likely forward to my other contacts who I wanted to join me. Might also be useful to have
a video or 2 and suggested discussion points for a first community meetup.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353"> - Reporting bugs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353">No harm but not for me likely to be the first reason I visit this page. Having the link to being a developer and fixing your first bug as well as link to joining the
doc team and maintaining on your first documentation or translation contribution would be more encouraging.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353"> - Grabbing tools from osops<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353"> - Participating in the Forum and SIGs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#535353">Yes, Videos and steps to do this. Important to start with setting up IRC handle and joining your first IRC meeting and joining and responding to your first DL-mail
posting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#535353"> - etc...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#535353">Would like what the full community looks like and how a local community fits into the bigger community.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#535353">Would like a place to read and then post looking to join or start a local community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#535353">Would like to have the link to explanations and Demo’s of various configs of OpenStack that a local community might want to try (e.g. simple compute, distributed data, big data, scientific compute)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
