Introduction
CloudStack encompasses a large body of knowledge, from system administration, network administration, storage management to software engineering and open source practices. Currently all our content is spread out among the Wiki, SlideShare, YouTube etc. There is a need to create a stand alone "course" that any new comers can take organize this body of knowledge in a coherent manner to provide a learning path for our community members and anyone interested to learn about Clouds. The CloudStack University aims to fill this gap by providing courses and student projects.

Vision:
The syllabus of the course would follow a traditional one-semester long calendar of roughly 16 weeks. We would have one lecture per week (given via webinar and recorded for later view). Once recorded the course could be taken as a self-paced course by anyone. Additionally the content could be formatted for sites like iTunes university.
