Get Active in Upstream Training

There is a continuous effort in helping newcomers join our community by organizing upstream contribution trainings [5][6] before every summit.
- 1.5 – 2 days of hands-on steps of becoming an active OpenStack contributor.
Like everything else, this is a community effort.
- In preparation for the Boston summit and the upcoming PTG in Atlanta, we are looking for coaches and mentors to help us make the training better.
- If you’re interested in helping contact:
  - Ildiko Vancsa IRC freenode at ildikov or email [7]
  - Kendall Nelson IRC freenode at diablo_rojo or email [8]

No central scheduling, beyond assigned rooms to teams and days.
- Each team arranges their time in their room.
- List of etherpads [10]
We still need centralized communication beyond each room:
- An event IRC channel: ##openstack-ptg on free node IRC
  - Do public service announcements
  - Pings from room to room.
- An EtherCalc spreadsheet powered dynamic schedule with extra rooms available:
  - One fishbowl
  - A few dark rooms with projectors and screens (not all will have a/v equipment due to budget).
  - Infra is working on setting up EtherCalc
