Hi everyone,
We've come a long way in the last cycle, taking us on a challenging journey
which is starting to reap rewards. I would like the opportunity to serve the
community as PTL in the Mitaka cycle with the following aims:
1. Grow the community
I would like to increase our community participation through the engagement
with other OpenStack Projects and the Operator community. I believe that
it's crucial to the success of the project to increase the diversity of
contributors and I'd like this to be a focus for the cycle.
2. Improve modularity
The project has built Ansible roles which are re-usable outside of the
defined use-cases which we do integration testing with. This, however, is
not obvious to anyone unless they spend a fair amount of time investigating
the playbooks and roles. I would like to reduce this barrier to entry by
moving towards a 'Big Tent' concept for our roles, with each role being
in its own repository, tested independently and fully re-usable in
a design of the deployers choosing.
3. Improve platform support enablement
Fairly common feedback from deployers has been that they like the project,
but would prefer to deploy on an alternative Operating System. While the
door has always been open for a contributor to put a patch up for review,
it is important that we acknowledge that this is not as simple a task as it
could be. I would like us to put some energy into lowering the barrier to
entry for this task to make it simpler to achieve.
4. Improve usability
Through improvements to our playbooks, roles and documentation, I believe
that OpenStack-Ansible can be made simpler and easier to develop for, to
deploy and to operate.
I look forward to working with you all for the next cycle and hope that we can
meet our lofty goals!
Jesse
