Viet OpenStack first webinar 5 Nov. 2018

Yesterday, 5 November 2018, at 21:00 UTC+7, about 25 Vietnamese developers attended the very first webinar of the Vietnam OpenStack User Group [1]. This is part of a series of Upstream Contribution Training based on the OpenStack Upstream Institute [2]. The topic is "How to contribute to OpenStack". Our target is to guide new and potential developers to understand the development process of OpenStack and how they are governed.

The webinar was planned to do in Google Hang Out but with the free version, only maximum 10 people can join the video call. So, we decided to use Zoom [3]. But, because it limits to 45m per meeting for the free account, we did 2 sessions for the webinar. Thank the proactive and supports of the Vietnam OpenStack User Group administrators, the webinar went very well. Whatever works.

I uploaded the training's content on GitHub [4] and will update it based on the attendee's feedbacks. A couple feedbacks I got after the webinar are:

• Should have exercises
• Find a more stable webinar tool
• The training should happen earlier
• The topics should be simpler for new contributors to follow

You can find the recorded videos of the webinar here:

We continue to gather feedback from the attendees and plan for the second webinar next month.
