Open Stack

** What aspects of our policies or culture make contributing to
OpenStackmore difficult than contributing to other open source projects?To
fully understand the map of OpenStack services is a huge challenge,
especially for new join developers. And for project teams, might not
provide new contributors guidelines to be quicker to become part of the
team. Finally, the format or WG/SIG/Team might confuse contributors.* Which
of those would you change, and how?IMO to provides clear landscape will
help on give people better view on the whole map and might get the better
idea on how to fit in their plan without spending too much time on finding
where to contribute. Also, we need provides better ways to communicate to
new contributors to at least make them feel welcome. Which maybe we can try
to add in PTL/TC's (or other possible position) duty and to provide better
guidelines to new join contributors who seems got no clue on what's the
project been working on or where the project needs help. Only people we
really understand that project can provide such judgment, and it seems like
a duty to provide guidelines to others (Aka help people working with you).
Finally, I personally think it's a good idea to have SIG in OpenStack, but
I think we need to provide technical guidelines to SIGs, so they can make a
clear decision on what's their mission, where are the resources they can
use, and how they might be able to use it. A clear vision makes clear
actions.* Where else should we be looking for contributors?IMO we actually
got a bunch new contributors around OpenStack (mostly for nova and neutron
of course) and trying to figure out what they can/should do. Also possibly
from other projects which might be doing overlapping jobs. Also to form SIG
might be a more productive way to collect contributors.*
