### Gerrit Upgrade Update From Infra
* Gerrit emails are slow, because it’s sending one at a time
    * [Upstream bug](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=7261)
    * [Patch to apply](https://review.openstack.org/#/c/505677)
* Web UI File Editor
    * Behaving oddly. Might be because of API time outs. Gertty is also having reported problems.
* [Message](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/122410.html)


### Install Guide VS Tutorial
* Since the [doc-migration](http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/docs-specs/specs/pike/os-manuals-migration.html), people have been having questions regarding the usage of “Install Tutorial” and “Install Guide” in the OpenStack manuals repository and project specific repos.
    * The documentation team agrees this should be consistent.
    * Tutorial’s literal translation is “paper, book, film, or computer program that provide practical information about a specific subject.”
* From PTG discussions, a distinction made was installation provides one of many possible ways to install the components.
* Consistency is more important than bike shedding over the name.
    * Industry wise, what’s the trend?
* [Thread](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/thread.html#122272)


### Garbage Patches for simple typo fixes
* [Previous thread from 2016 on this](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-September/104173.html)
* Various contributors are doing many patches that are typo, style changes.
    * It has been expressed that this can cause CI resource starvation.
* TC created the [Top 5 help wanted](https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/top-5-help-wanted.html) to help contributors know where the community needs the most identified help.
* This is a social issue, not a technical issue. Arguing about what is useful and what isn’t is probably not worth the effort here.
* Communication and education is probably the best solution here. For repeated offenders, off-list email could be fine to make sure the communication is clear. Communicating this in the new [contributor portal](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/122534.html) and Upstream Institute would be helpful.
* [Thread](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/thread.html#122472)
