This reminded me of something I linked into the nova contributor docs 
based on a presentation that stephenfin and bauzas gave in Sydney about 
bug triage:
https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/contributor/how-to-get-involved.html#how-to-do-great-bug-triage
Over time I've tried to link more and more relevant summit videos into 
the nova docs for things like Placement, Cells v2, and really anything 
that is specific to a domain of nova for new contributors.
We spend so much time working on these presentations that it's a shame 
when we don't actually link them back into our docs for people to find 
later when they are trying to learn.
