Open Stack

hihi all and particularly Monty & Jim,

Is this bootcamp planned to be a pure hackday-format for high-code
contributors or is it more about process and setting up "how tos" for
newbies to the organization? Or a combination? I am very curious about
what outputs we expect to see for those that can make it to NYC and those
that will not be able to attend. If it is "just" for hacking on code, that
is great, but anything that can be done can do in terms of documenting
processes and best practices and how to enter the Infra team would be
beneficial (in my opinion.)

I, along with my Racker coworkers (jlk, murkk, johannes, blamar), would
very much like to own adding some of the reporting lanes back to upstream
OpenStack (e.g., real world database migration timing, the Cloud Cafe test
suite we talked about at last Summit, perhaps some of the topics raised
around additional xenserver testing.) This should help us stabilize our
"house" by allowing for earlier and more widespread visibility into
potential problem points for large-scale deployments, which in turn should
allow us to focus more development and contribution effort. However,
taking ownership of this hasn't been obvious to me yet and ramp up has
been very slow. Anything that can be done to help lower the hurdle would
be amazing.

I'm on a HUGE documentation and understanding kick right now around Infra
and deployments. Writing down how to do All The Things that affect my
world is a focus of my summer months, hence me making a plug here.

Thanks and have a great week, all.
