Kendall, Thanks for that pointer and to those who sent emails. I guess the pre-summit time was a bit weird this time around (for many cores/liaisons) and may be the next round we will see someone from Glance participate. Unfortunately, I can't be a Glance liaison at the moment. I hope someone

Kendall, I would like to be the Trove liaison, and would like to participate in Upstream University next time around. With that said, the answers to Sean's original question. I ran the room for the Trove team, I think it was a welcome addition. What went well: I think it was a good opportunity

@Nikhil, we (the organizers of Upstream Institute) sent a few emails [1][2] out to the dev mailing list asking for help and representatives from various projects to attend and get involved. We are also working on building a network of project liaisons to direct newcomers to in each project. Would

Project: Glance Attendees: ~15 What was done: We started by introducing the core team (or whatever existed then), did a run down of Glance API documentation especially for developers, other references like notes for ops, best practices. We went through the architecture of the project. A few

Project: Cinder Attendees: Approximately 30 I was really pleased by the number of people that attended the Cinder session and the fact that they people in the room seemed engaged with the presentation and asked good questions showing interest in the project. I think having the on-boardings

Project: Documentation and I18N Attendees: 3-5 (maybe?) Etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/doc-onboarding What we did: We ran the session informally based off whoever was there. Due to the small attendance, we just ran through how the project works (docs like code and all that).

Project: Sahara Attendees: 6-8 (1 never involved in Sahara) We worked on a quick overview of how Sahara works and planned to work a little on code. Since most of the people there worked on Sahara already the code introduction didn't make a lot of sense since the only rookie was most interested in

Tricircle shared a room with Sahara, and stay there for the first half. Around 6 persons joined the session. Due to the network issue(on the lab side) I am not able to logon to my environment to do the training based on live environment. I have to play some recorded clips, during the playing,

Project: Keystone Attendees: 12 - 15 We conflicted with one of the Baremetal/VM sessions I attempted to document most of the session in my recap [0]. We started out by doing a round-the-room of introductions so that folks could put IRC nicks to faces (we also didn't have a packed room so this

Thank you so much for getting this started Sean! I have gotten a lot of feedback that people liked the on-boarding rooms, but I would be interested to know more about what people did so we can coordinate better next time. This round I left a lot of the decisions up to the different teams since
