I am busy changing the world

Yay, finally after the new year holiday we can organize the third upstream training webinar for OpenStack developers in Vietnam [1]. This time we invited Kendall Nelson [2], Upstream Developer Advocate for the OpenStack Foundation, to teach us about the Storyboard [3] and Launchpad [4] task management tools (she's also one of the core developers of the Storyboard project). We first started with the Jitsi conferencing platform [5] but we could not communicate with Kendall (in the US) for some reason. So, we decided to switch back to Zoom [6] and everything went well after that. There were about 12 people attended the webinar and we had a good conversation with Kendall about some aspects of Storyboard which is quite new to some users. You can check out the conversation (log chat) here [7]. Below is the recorded video: We would like to say thanks to Kendall Nelson for her kind acceptance to teach us this time even though the schedule was pretty early for her (6AM her time)....

Yes, we did it, the second OpenStack Upstream Contribution webinar. This time we focused on debugging tips and tricks for first-time developers. We also had time to introduce some of the great tools such as Zuul CI [1] (and how to use the Zuul status page [2] to keep track of running tasks), ARA report [3], and tox [4] etc. During the session, attendees had shared some great experience when debugging OpenStack projects (e.g., how to read logs, use ide, etc.). And,  a lot of good questions has been raised such as how to use ipdb [7] to debug running services (using ipdb to debug is quite hardcore I think :)) etc. You can check out this GitHub link [5] for chat logs and other materials. I want to say thanks to all the people at the Jitsi open source project [6] that provides a great conferencing platform for us. We were able to have video discussion smoothly without any limitation or interruption and the experience was so great. Watch the recorded video here:  ...

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...
