Kendall Nelson 7bf6000ba9 [upstream] Updates to Contribution Process Overview 
This patch removes a lot of the extra information so that topics
are not covered in detail more than once. It also condenses
information and reorders some of the slides for a better flow into
the following slide sections.

  • Clone and be familiar with the code
$ git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/<your_project>
