Welcome, Petra!

I still thinking finding the right bugs to work on is the hardest part of
working in open source. :) I wanted to let you know that I added a comment
to the other bug you had assigned yourself,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1628564 to show you what
was done to add a configuration option default value change.

I'm sure there are more bugs to find and fix, but do know that by triaging
bugs to figure out if they have been fixed or not, you're definitely
contributing! I found another config reference bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1668542 that is awaiting
a patch to land in the nova repo, then the docs can be worked on in the
config ref in the openstack-manuals repo. Maybe take a look at that one
next? And here's another config ref bug that you could look at to see if
the change has already landed:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1488564

This kind of work helps, and then you can also familiarize yourself with
the content to figure out which docs to work on next. Alex may have ideas
for you too!
