Open Stack

Hey Operators,

How do you help new OpenStack users learn to build awesome stuff in your
OpenStack clouds?

I come from a more traditional Systems/Operations background, so when it
comes time to on-board someone who intends to build an application in
the cloud, I'm at a bit of a loss once I have sorted out their API
access.  Sure, I'll give them some cloud-init examples and tell them to
go read about Heat, but infrastructure is my area of expertise, not
cloud applications.

So, back to my original question:

What information do you give new users to help them be effective in the
cloud?  What is your go-to demo for people who don't quite understand
what OpenStack is offering?  How do you reach out to people in your
organizations who aren't OpenStack users yet, but probably should be?

Cheers,
James
