Open Stack

HI there,

I forgot to mention that, weather permitting, the Monday evening Women of OpenStack party in Tokyo will be outdoors on a rooftop - so bring a jacket or sweater. The sun sets at 4:45pm. If the weather doesn’t cooperate then the party will move indoors.

Safe travels and we’ll see you soon!

Cheers,
Claire

We encourage you to attend the Diversity working group and following session on Tuesday afternoon to make your voices heard. We’re also encouraging the OpenStack community to use the hashtag #WeAreOpenStack on social media to promote the diversity and inclusivity of the OpenStack community. Please use this hashtag, share your pictures from the Summit and encourage your colleagues to do the same.

> Seigyoku room, Level 1 of PAMIR (Blue, Blg #3 on maps)
> In Vancouver the OpenStack Board chartered a work group to explore and foster a diverse OpenStack Community. The basis for this is the belief that enlisting the broadest set of viewpoints and experience will enable us to create the most innovative and impactful technologies in support of the OpenStack Mission. A broad set of community members formed the Diversity Work Group that has worked over the Liberty cycle to form a framework for a diverse community through the creation of a Diversity Policy, integrated Diversity expectations into our Code of Conducts and identified initial areas of focus for extending the diversity of our community. Please come join us to discuss the team’s work and shape the future direction.

> 3rd Summit breakfast working session. We'll review what we have accomplished since the Paris and Vancouver Summits and hear lightning talks from two speakers who exemplify #WeAreOpenStack. Our first speaker, Xing Yang, is making a positive impact on OpenStack as a core Cinder and Manila contributor and our second speaker, Niki Acosta, is using her skills to grow the OpenStack ecosystem. We'll break into smaller groups to discuss the key lightening talk messages and identify actions for the Women of OpenStack to achieve over the next six months. Breakfast and coffee will be provided.

> Tech Tools Lunch & Learn <http://sched.co/4RMg>, 12:45pm - 2:00pm
> Zuiko room, Level 2 of PAMIR (Blue, Blg #3 on maps)
> Prerequisite: Please have git and git-review installed on your laptops
> Git and Gerrit are some of the essential tools in getting started with OpenStack software development. Git is a free and open source version control system. It allows many software developers to work on a given project without requiring them to share a common network. Gerrit is a free, web-based team code collaboration tool. Developers in a team can review each other's modifications on their source code using a web browser and approve or reject those changes. It integrates closely with Git. In this session we will walk-through participants to submit a test patch to a repository in OpenStack. The process involves learning about git along with a cheat sheet of most useful commands and review process in Gerrit. Participants will walk away with working knowledge on these tools.
