Notes on teaching

Participants should be given the URL of the web site immediately, this will save typing. This workshop is very helper heavy.

Notes on structure

External participants get CLI access, not GUI access. UiO-internal participants should follow the workshop as it is set out above. Others should get help installing openstack-cli (6) while we do GUI stuff in plenary. They will be issued a keystone.sh file for the course project and can follow the workshop in CLI. Main problem will be adding SSH keys and security groups. This is easy via CLI if you are following the recipe provided on <02-makingServer.md>.
