Purpose of DevOps BootCamp

From front page:

DevOps BootCamp is an OSU Open Source Lab and OSU Linux Users Group program aimed at boosting our impact and outreach while shrinking the skills gap for OSU students interested in DevOps.

From FAQ:

DevOps BootCamp will provide continuity and comprehensive open source education that’s outside the scope of regular LUG meetings.

"The Deal"

Students get:

• Mentorship from students and professionals with advanced skills in software development and systems administration
• Professional connections in the software industry
• A welcoming environment to start learning in, if you've always wanted to learn about software development and systems administration but never been sure where to start
• An opportunity to fill in any gaps in your knowledge, if you’re a self-taught coder or sysadmin
• The skills to build and deploy open source software, or contribute to existing projects

Why we’re offering this:

• The OSL gets a larger pool of candidates to recommend to companies interested in recruiting OSL students
• The OSL gets to work with a wider variety of students, which fits better with its new status as part of the school of EECS
• The open source community gets more contributors to its projects

Target Audience

Our goal is to make the DevOps BootCamp program accessible to students and community members from all different backgrounds. You have to want to learn, and be willing to ask questions whenever you don't understand something, and be open to making time to play with the cool tools/toys which we’ll be teaching you about.
