Ghanshyam Mann f80feb3abe Add quick start guide
Contributor guide has lot of details on various
topics of communty workflow including communication,
governance and contrbution etc but there is no entry
point or quick start guide for first timer so that they
can have a quick steps wise page to push their first patch.

It is difficult for firt timer to read all the guide and then
learn how to push their first patch.

Introduction

The heart of open source is the people who are participating in a community and it is no different in case of OpenStack either.

This chapter will guide you through of all the tools and processes that we are using to develop, test, maintain, and document the projects in OpenStack.

Communication is underrated, but crucial when it comes to participating in an open source community. We have several tools that we use for online and offline communication, which we encourage you to use.

We do not differentiate between the different types of contributions such as code or documentation therefore you will find guidance in this chapter for all types.

First-timers can refer to the quick-start Guide.
