Lesson 1: review

[MartinPaulo]

For notes on improvements to lesson 1

[bmeade]

Freshdesk is already in place and I think the new preferred email is support@nectar.org.au

[FCTweedie]

Can the help stuff come later? It has been 15 mins and I haven't done anything yet (4:22 pm) Like the questions

[bmeade]

Password reset information should be clearer

[tjdett]

I haven't done anything yet, so why am I learning about allocations after 3 months?

[bmeade]

How do I calculate how many core hours? What about location?

[FCTweedie]

Can there be some more rationale - what is this going to let me do? Refer back to the applications/ benefits more often

[lachlansimpson]

In this section:

In OpenStack parlance, a project is: "A logical grouping of users within Compute; defines quotas and access to VM images." And every project has a project ID: A "User-defined alphanumeric string in Compute; the name of a project."

• What is Compute?

[FCTweedie]

Can all this content on images (maintaining them etc) come later once we've created something? Like the questions & structure but it's a bit abstract

[bmeade]

What about images "Shared with Me?" How do I do that?

[bmeade]

No rules appeared when I created a new security group

[FCTweedie]

Should be getting the group to do the activities creating key pairs & security groups along with you

[FCTweedie]

Can there be multiple instances in a project?

[bmeade]

Need to be clear about difference between stopping and terminating - mixed up a couple of times

[tjdett]

I wasn't able to use my pt account to create a new instance because it had already exceeded its quota.

[FCTweedie]

Need to explain more about terminating/ stopping the time on a machine

[MartinPaulo]

I've either expanded the lesson notes, or added a comment for later action in the readme: the comments in the readme are principally about a possible restructuring of the first two lessons.
