I've been a core reviewer for about five months now and it's +been really cool to be able to give something back to the community. + +We have had a lot of progress this cycle. + +* Remove a lot of deprecate parameters +* Improved testing of Puppet 5 +* Added Debian 9 support (Python 3 only) +* Added Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic support +* Fixed some bugs +* Moved to more usage of the shared openstacklib resources +* Added neutron-dynamic-routing support +* Added horizon dashboard installation support +* Changed keystone to use port 5000 and deprecated usage of port 35357 (still deploys both) + +I could ramble up a lot more in that list but I really think we've done a good job but we still have some major things +moving forward that we'll have to work on. Here is some major things I think we'll need to work on or discuss. + +* Python 3 will be a big one, I know people are working on Fedora for testing here, but we also have Debian9 here + which is python3-only so thanks to Thomas (zigo) we have somebody that has paved the way here. + +* Puppet 5 data types for parameters and removing validate_* functions is a big one which we also have an open blueprint + and PoC for but will require a lot of interaction with the TripleO team. [0] [1] + +* CI stability and maintenance will be a reoccurring thing we'll need to focus on. + +* Puppet providers are usually slow due to CLI utilies, we need to work together to improve the performance of + the CLI tooling or consider the move to API calls, this has been up before but there hasn't been anybody there + that has sponsored such work. + +I want to really thank all of you for your huge amounts of work, all across the OpenStack board and the Puppet OpenStack team. +Thank you for considering me. + +Best regards +Tobias (tobasco @ IRC) + +[0] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/568929/ +[1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/569566/
