PTL and TC Interaction Summary

We discussed about what are the challenges faced by a new contributor in OpenStack and what steps we can take to help improve the process. Some of the difficulties discussed are:

• Gerrit interface isn't very intuitive
• Devstack errors are not easy to debug and resolve: Cinder team didn't mandate installing devstack for Outreachy contribution this time which improved the contribution significantly.
• OpenStack requires more devops/linux-style knowledge than many other OSS projects

There is a crash course for learning linux concepts
