I'm currently +serving as temporary Nova PTL since we lost Eric during the Ussuri cycle. + +We are facing multiple challenges for Victoria. + +We have to organize the first fully virtual PTG to plan the Victoria cycle due +to sever travel restrictions around the word. I have already proposed ways [1] +to the Nova team and I will continue working on making the best out of the +current situation. + +In the past months we have lost Matt and Eric, two key contributors and Nova +maintainers. So I will work on regrowing the Nova core team to restore our +review bandwidth. As a first step I proposed two new Nova core members [2][3]. +But I will also look for more possible candidates and I will try to mentor them +to further increase the size of the core team. + +We have many unfinished business from the Ussuri cycle. So as a PTL I have the +intention to make the team focus on finishing these work before we start any +new big change in Nova. + +Thanks, +Balazs Gibizer (gibi) + +[1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-March/013555.html +[2] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-March/013511.html +[3] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-March/013519.html
