I love this idea.

Looking at https://docs.openstack.org/upstream-training/ it seems that 
the syllabus for Upstream Institute is (or will eventually be) 
effectively the Contributor Guide, so a good first step would be to link 
to the vision from the Contributor Guide: 
https://review.openstack.org/631366

Any idea what else would be involved in making this happen?
