We moved +away from an API, an method of updating DNS entries on the servers, got +incubated and survived the move to the big tent, and are now getting much more +integrated into the OpenStack ecosystem with Heat resources, Neutron work, +among other things. + +We have had great leadership for this period, I am sorry to see Kiall leave +the PTL role he has performed so well over these cycles. + +I have been contributing to Designate since the Havana release, and was made a +member of core quite a while ago. We have managed to bring together a great +group of people who contribute to Designate, and I would hope to keep growing +our community over the next cycle. + +I want to focus on a few things this cycle, which I think will help us move +onward and upward: + +- Documentation + +We have some great code, but sometimes we lack instructions would that allow +others to use it to their full potential + +- Drivers + +We have a few Drivers for different DNS servers, and while we currently have +a grading scheme, I think we need to ensure they are all fully tested, either +in the gate or in 3rd party testing. + +- The Big Rename + +We need to do this asap (as soon as we go into M development), and remove all +trace of "domains" from the code base. + +If elected I would try to work on these issues, and any others that may +(aka will) pop up in the cycle, while trying to get more people into the +designate community. + +Thank you, + +Graham \ No newline at end of file
