In my experience contribution is preceded by usage. I would recommend
that you figure out how you can deploy OpenStack beyind a small test
environment, and figure out its value to you and your friends. Perhaps
you could volunteer to set up an OpenStack lab for your university? This
would be an excellent opportunity to better understand what the project
has to offer, and to see shortcomings which you would then be in a
position to fix.

This is not to take away from Alan's advice, but (again, in my
experience) contributions are only sustained when contributors are using
the software regularly.

Hope this helps!
Dave.
