Open Stack

Yes, I think it would be a good idea for it to have a it's own write up, so it doesn't get lost/forgotten.

Subject: [Ext] Re: [Women-of-openstack] Save the Date- Austin WOO Sessions

Erin,

The Friendly Faces meet-up was combined for time/space considerations, should we make a separate blurb and RSVP for it? It’s pretty informal but it’s a good way for new people to get involved.

Thanks,

Amy

OpenStack Summit Austin, April 24-29th

SUNDAY
Command Presence Workshop
9:30am-12:30pm
JW Marriott- Salon D
The Command Presence Workshop has been recognized by the Anita Borg Institute and Harvard Business Review. It is intended to teach participants how to handle “senior-level high pressure meetings”. The majority of the workshop is a task-force convened to address a simulated, but very realistic crisis event. In the class, each participant assumes a role, and is given about 30minutes to prepare 1-2 slides. Once the class has prepared, the simulation begins. There is a role-play simulation. It is not uncommon to hear occasional “gasps” of disbelief from the participants. The workshop participants will experience rapid-fire questioning, interruption, and other situations that occur in senior-level meetings, but in a safe environment conducive to learning techniques for handling such situations. Facilitators: Ruchi Bhargava (Intel), Malini Bhandaru (Intel) and a panel of leaders representative of the OpenStack leadership in the community (business leaders and technical leaders).

Mentees will have five-to-10 minutes to talk to potential mentors, then cycle throughout the room for about an hour-and-a-half. At the end, people will fill out surveys with their preferences and we'll contact people about potential matches. Breakfast and coffee will be provided. More information coming soon.
