hello folks,
a group of people interested in academia met in Boston during the
unconference. I was there to take notes and facilitate this community
run initiative. Here is what we agreed so far. I'm sharing it on the
list to gather more ideas.
/stef
OpenStack Academic Initiative
Mission:
* provide a place for all research academics efforts can be
advertised and found, about and around OpenStack (not generic
about IaaS or PaaS)
* a list of papers published and ongoing research
* a list of conferences about cloud
* maintain a list of ideas for the companies to sponsor research
like a "market"
* a place for the companies to say what they need and research can
execute
* undergrad level, gsoc-style, time starved but there are
many of them. it's important to be easy for them to
contribute
* masters level, more in depth work, empirical studies
like performance evaluation
* phd level, exploratory type of research
* handle the funding, hr tasks, mentoring: who's going to manage
this?
* mentoring is intense and time consuming, but crucial for
the success of research
* provide resources, like hardware for tests, for researchers
* advertise this initiative among researchers
* Example: setup OpenStack tracks at a couple of relevant
conference
Next steps: Identify the group responsible for this initiative and
define action items, deadlines and deliverables.
