I'd like to submit my candidacy for the TC Election.
|
|
|
|
I've been involved with OpenStack since the beginning of the Folsom
|
|
release. We may have worked together on parts of Nova, Tempest,
|
|
DevStack, Grenade, or in generally debugging failures in the upstream
|
|
gate in OpenStack. Or from things like the gerrit-dash-creator that
|
|
makes it easy for teams to build custom review dashboards.
|
|
|
|
I'm a strong believer in the Big Tent approach to OpenStack. I was one
|
|
of the early instigators of that conversation [1], which as with all
|
|
things got better with more smart people involved in it. I'm also a
|
|
strong believer that the longevity of the OpenStack project is about
|
|
having a solid and small on ramp that gets OpenStack in as many places
|
|
as possible. And a clear path to expand it over time. This was one of
|
|
the reasons I believed the compute-starter-kit was an important tag
|
|
that the TC bless [2].
|
|
|
|
Over the past year I've spent time on decomposing and modularizing
|
|
OpenStack components. We no longer test all the projects and all the
|
|
libraries in one giant gate queue. We now have a plugin framework for
|
|
DevStack and Grenade that makes it easier for people to expand on top
|
|
of it.
|
|
|
|
I've also been focussing on the API side of OpenStack. In the API
|
|
working group, and on the Nova project. I helped define the
|
|
Micro-version approach that is used in Nova, and has been adopted by
|
|
other projects in OpenStack [3]. This has openned up a new way for
|
|
projects to evolve their API while not breaking existing applications.
|
|
|
|
Over the next couple of cycles my focus is going to be interop, with
|
|
an eye on the Service Catalog and the API of projects. I hope to do
|
|
that work with a broad range of contributors to make the end user
|
|
experience of OpenStack much better.
|
|
|
|
In my role at Hewlett Packard I've got the freedom to work on many of
|
|
these larger issues in the way that works best for the community.
|
|
|
|
If this is the kind of voice that you would like on the TC, please
|
|
feel free to vote for me. It would be my honor and pleasure to
|
|
continue to represent you, and the mission to expand OpenStack's
|
|
reach, on the TC.
