The best way to understand the cloud, is to have one of your own to kick around, poke, break, fix, and see what it looks like when it's running. In OpenStack we've got a whole project called Devstack which is designed to quickly bootstrap the latest git versions of all the OpenStack components and create an experimentation friendly OpenStack environment.
This talk will introduce Devstack, how to get a running OpenStack with it, and how one might begin making changes and seeing them in action. We'll explore a few of the major OpenStack services, see what's going on, all with the intent to explain what OpenStack is by seeing not only the interface, but the internals at work.
