The first thing to acknowledge is that OpenStack is a very complex
project dealing in a very complex domain. Nobody really gets a high
degree of familiarity with OpenStack as a whole immediately. You may
want to start from the high level descriptions of the wider OpenStack on

http://www.openstack.org/software/

and then move down one of its components to dive deeper. Depending on
your interests and your skills, you may want to avoid looking at the
projects with highest complexity (skip Nova and Neutron, for example).

Make sure to join the IRC channel #openstack-opw on freenode.net to chat
with other (ex)participants to OPW and mentors.
