Community training has always been an effort centered around giving the user groups tools to teach. As our efforts progressed, our content has evolved. My involvement with the OpenStack Ambassador program has helped by given us more visibility into what the other user groups are looking for as well. We have changed the way we looked at training and so the training team and content is changing with it.
The training team got together over the Kilo summit in Paris. Here is the result https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/training-guides-kilo-summit. From our summit meetings, we boiled our goals down to a few:
- Most of the content in HTML slides using example scenarios and use cases
- The Upstream Training content will largely become the Developer Training Guide
- Use OpenStack training clusters built by an automated local installation on VirtualBox (via osbash scripts) which follows the official OpenStack install-guide
- Developing a one node training cluster version (all-in-one) using public cloud
- Online Quizzes
- Our target audience is the OpenStack User Groups, Upstream Training/OpenStack Summit training, Universities, and Self-paced training
- We will continue to support the OpenStack Documentation Program projects by cross posting content
As part of the newly revived effort, I created a new team called the Trainers team. This team is meant to be made of the people that donate there time teaching at the user group events. More on this in another post coming soon.
All the rest of the training details can be found here in the Training Guides wiki.
