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.

Quick Start

This guide is to list the minimal steps you need to do to push your first patch in OpenStack.

Set up accounts and configure environment

To get started, first setup required accounts.

  1. OpenStack ../common/accounts
  2. ../common/git
  3. ../common/setup-gerrit

Push your change

OpenStack uses Gerrit to propose and review the code.

  • Here is a quick overview of the Gerrit Workflow
  • Push your change and review using-gerrit

Practice the workflow using Sandbox Project

To make sure everything is set up correctly or to understand the workflow without trying it on actual projects, you can practice in a Sandbox using the sandbox-house-rules Guide.
