During numerous discussions at the Vancouver 2018 Forum,
the topic of discouraging review cultural behaviors came
up repeatedly.
This has come up before, but never to the point where prior
community participants and leaders who took the opportunity
to reconnect with the community came into the room and
explicitly stated that it was the review culture as to
why they left.
The common frustration that was repeatedly raised was having
to revise patches over and over due to varying nitpicks where
negative feedback was left forcing the patch to be updated
in order to gain any additional review feedback.
We recognize that this is counter productive, and that we
need to change our review culture, so we are updating the
principles to express the aspects of peer review that we
value.

This is a minor re-arrangement of the last section of our principles
document. It is meant to bend the tone of the closing paragraph in a
positive encouraging and welcoming direction.

Discussion of I876f95ccbbf71f4f512275af110690888449e093 indicated
that while there was general agreement with the spirit of the
content, there were some issues with redundancy and lack of
active voice. This change tries to address some of those issues
by paring the message down to its distillation.
As I started making changes I realized there was a lot of extra
fluff. We can be direct here with what we really mean.

This commit adds a new principle to the principles doc titled
contributing is our currency. The goal here is to express that while
we have a hierarchical leadership structure the only way change gets
implemented is by people actually contributing and doing the work.

Beyond the Four Opens, the OpenStack community (and the Technical
Committee as its direct representation) operates on a lot of
unwritten principles, which were transmitted by oral tradition
by the elders and appear from time to time as a snippet of wisdom
in the middle of a TC meeting.
It is more than time for us to document those principles, to make
them clearer to everyone and harder to ignore. To give credit where
due, the bulk of this document was written by Monty Taylor, with
input from a number of other folks including (but not limited to)
the list of co-authors below.
