- Links section has a blog where i have explained about my previous workshop on OpenStack Swift with everything. I will be updating it for this workshop.
NOTE
I have done most of my workshop using Ubuntu(install packages), so even if you are not a ubuntu user you can attend the workshop as the objective of the workshop is to train/teach/familiarize you with overall OpenStack Swift project. One can later replicate the installation procedure on his favourite distribution.

Please add a link to the published API for OpenStack Swift so that your intended audience will be able to familiarize themselves with the basic operations. Additionally, please provide links to installations/configurations for distributions other than Ubuntu. It is possible that your audience may not desire to learn this off Ubuntu and, since you'd be demonstrating the capabilities of the API, the underlying platform should ideally not matter much.
Also, please add the intended take-away from your session.
