Hi Miguel, I think a great first step would be for you to come up with more specific ideas and then seek out a mentor (or mentors) in the OpenStack development community. Can you be more specific by the types of research you are thinking of in particular, what types of work would fall under "leader election" or "security"? Also, what type of research are you hoping to do? Empirical, development, exploratory, etc.? How much guidance would you expect to need? What time commit are you able to put into such a project? Hope these questions help to get you started.
