- 5. 5 Upstream Training Conference In Atlanta Design Summit What is Upstream Training? Upstream (software development) In software development, upstream refers to a direction toward the original authors or maintainers of software that is distributed as source code, and is a qualification of either a bug or a patch. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- 6. 6 Where is Atlanta? Georgia World Congress Center
- 7. 7 Objectives Faster integration of the companies product roadmap into the OpenStack release cycle Successfully contribute one real world patch to an OpenStack component Master the technical tools Understand the OpenStack contribution workflow and social norms In addition, • Make connection • Introduce the training to your boss! • Leaded by developers, not sales person.
- 8. 8 Objectives × Learn architecture of OpenStack components × Learn source code structure × Learn hidden parameters × Learn actual operation know-how × Learn the best management practice
- 9. 9 Training Schedule Online mentoring 1A week before Day 1 • Choice of a contribution, via email, with each participant How OpenStack is madeDay 1 • Learn and practice git, gerrit, IRC The theory of contributionDay 2 • Lego contribution simulation • Individual presentation of the contribution plan Online mentoring 2A week after Day 2
- 11. 11 A week before Training Day 1 Training Day 2 Conference A week after Day 2 A week before Day 1 Pick a few (3 or so) bugs from the low hanging fruit list or elsewhere (it is up to you) look like good candidates for you to work on during the training • Mentor will help you pick one. It is best to chose a contribution that looks easy. • The goal of the training will be to get your work accepted upstream. • Even the simplest work is an opportunity to learn.

Project social groups Assess your approach Engage immediately Play with your network Smaller tasks Choosing a question Code of conduct Disagree Understanding the Conventions Explain what you do Prepare the backport Local and upstream Good workflow Bad workflow Quantify the delta Speeding the acceptance Timeframe Building karma Parallelizing From easy to difficult Archive and collect
- 16. 16 A week before Training Day 1 Training Day 2 Conference A week after Day 2 Day 2 - Lego: What agile is. Upstream project : a Lego town Company deadline : Lego exhibition Epic : become a major contributor and demonstrate the company skills during the exhibition • planning (5 min) → building (15 min) → reviewing (5 min) Actor • Upstream (Board, Technical Committee, Core) • Company (CEO, Product owner, Scrum Master, Team members) • Free Software contributors (Distracted, Controversial, Agreeable…)

- 18. 18 Thoughts
- 19. 19 Language barrier Contribution is not just about being technically savvy. It's also about cooperation and you will get an opportunity to practice from day one :-) For instance, the language barrier is a handicap and an opportunity to help or receive help. Native english speakers already noticed I'm not a native english speaker and kindly refrained from criticizing me. I acknowledge this problem and from time to time I'll ask for help to clarify an explanation. If it turns out that my english is better than someone else, I'll return the favor and gladly help rewrite a mail or rephrase a sentence. From mentor’s email
- 20. 20 Language barrier Lack of English listening ability Can not understand lecture completely • Mottainai! Can not understand Exercise completely However, can not ask a question! But, anyone is kind basically even if you speak slowly. • Keep accuracy, honesty and professionalism Nervous is not a problem, but don’t hesitate.
- 21. 21 Import the training to Japan! Required • All! • including free drink & lunch Should be considered • Lego: Alternative agile training • Exercise: Make it clear. Sometimes vague… Wanted • Choose bugs carefully that will be fixed • How to write better emails to community mailing list • How to dive source code (gnu global, IDE, call graph…) • How about other opensouce community style? (Linux kernel, …, Github, bugzilla) • How about other contribution way? (documentation, infra)
- 22. 22 Others Communication • Don’t depend on Launchpad and mailing list • Instead, use IRC! • Push codes to gerrit, as well as discussing • Try other contribution ways • Documentation, code review, comments… • Keep accuracy, honesty and professionalism Don’t hesitate • Everyone is kind , and never give up • recheck no bug, recheck bug,… • Ignored? Say “Hello, again!” on IRC http://openstackreactions.enovance.com/2014/01/keep-hitting-recheck-no-bug-in-reviews/
