We are not here to get internships / jobs. We are here to build things that shouldn't exist yet. We believe the best education happens at 2am when your tests are failing and Stack Overflow has no answers. Join us if you are ready to learn & build something real.
This is the OpenStack doctrine:

This is the OpenStack doctrine:
>BUILD FAST. BREAK THINGS. FIX THEM YOURSELF.
>SHIP OFTEN. A DEPLOYED PROTOTYPE BEATS A PERFECT PLAN.
>LEARN IN PUBLIC. YOUR FAILURES TEACH OTHERS.
>READ THE SOURCE. DOCUMENTATION IS NOT ENOUGH.
>AUTOMATE EVERYTHING YOU DO TWICE.
>OPEN > CLOSED. SHARE THE STACK.
>THE BEST WAY TO LEARN A TOOL IS TO BUILD SOMETHING REAL WITH IT.
>YOU CAN DO IT, TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT
