Hi everyone, I'd like to announce my candidacy for Ocata cycle as the PTL for the Quality Assurance program/team/project/etc. First off, I would like to thank you all the contributors, core reviewers, PTLs and anyone who involves and makes the OpenStack better. Let me introduce myself, briefly. I have joined the OpenStack community since 2012 as a developer. Now, I'm a core member of some QA/Infra projects such as Tempest, Tempest-lib(deprecated), OpenStack-health, stackviz, subunit2sql[1]. And I played the mentors/instructors role at the upstream training in Japan several times. It was a great experience to know the difficulty of telling people how OpenStack community is going. This Newton cycle has also been a very exciting one for the QA program. New QA projects like stackviz and OpenStack-health are emerging and growing. For distributed and stable project testing, we have been working on making the tempest service clients consistent and migrating it to the lib. It is also an excellent job in progress. And we improved Tempest-cli and its user workflow. Thanks to the improvements, we can use Tempest in very simple steps now. And I especially focused on improving UI side of tempest, OpenStack-health, etc. I think this is also a great step for better UX. In Ocata cycle, I believe cleaning up Tempest/DevStack will be one of the top priority works such as making consistency, cleaning up pluggable modules. We will continue to do it this cycle, too. And I also think improving UI and UX is one of the most important things for QA. For example, OpenStack-health should show more variety of data and be improved its performance. And regarding the tempest cli, the first implementation phase was almost done, and we need to get user feedbacks and improve them. I think our OpenStack QA work is unique and excellent compare to the other open source projects. And as you know, it is very exciting not boring these days. I hope more and more contributors will participate in the OpenStack development, especially the QA. So I will continue to advertise our great the OpenStack QA works and review and make patches for better QA, of course. And any contribution like reporting bugs, suggesting a lack of documentations, are appreciated, too. Join us and happy hacking!
