Hi all!
|
|
|
|
I'm announcing my candidacy for a position on the OpenStack Technical
|
|
Committee.
|
|
|
|
On October 1st I will be employed by the OpenStack Foundation as
|
|
a Cross-Project Developer Coordinator to help bring focus and support to
|
|
cross-project initiatives within the cross-project specs, Def Core, The Product
|
|
Working group, etc.
|
|
|
|
I feel the items below have enabled others across this project to strive for
|
|
quality. If you would all have me as a member of the Technical Committee, you
|
|
can help me to enable more quality work in OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
* I have been working in OpenStack since 2010. I spent a good amount of my time
|
|
working on OpenStack in my free time before being paid full time to work on
|
|
it. It has been an important part of my life, and rewarding to see what we
|
|
have all achieved together.
|
|
|
|
* I was PTL for the Cinder project in the Kilo and Liberty releases for two
|
|
cross-project reasons:
|
|
* Third party continuous integration (CI).
|
|
* Stop talking about rolling upgrades, and actually make it happen for
|
|
operators.
|
|
|
|
* I led the effort in bringing third party continuous integration to the
|
|
Cinder project for more than 60 different drivers. [1]
|
|
* I removed 25 different storage drivers from Cinder to bring quality to the
|
|
project to ensure what was in the Kilo release would work for operators.
|
|
I did what I believed was right, regardless of whether it would cost me
|
|
re-election for PTL [2].
|
|
* In my conversations with other projects, this has enabled others to want to
|
|
follow the same effort. Continuing this trend of quality cross-project will
|
|
be my next focus.
|
|
|
|
* During my first term of PTL for Cinder, the team, and much respect to Thang
|
|
Pham working on an effort to end the rolling upgrade problem, not just for
|
|
Cinder, but for *all* projects.
|
|
* First step was making databases independent from services via Oslo
|
|
versioned objects.
|
|
* In Liberty we have a solution coming that helps with RPC versioned messages
|
|
to allow upgrading services independently.
|
|
|
|
* I have attempted to help with diversity in our community.
|
|
* Helped lead our community to raise $17,403 for the Ada Initiative [3],
|
|
which was helping address gender-diversity with a focus in open source.
|
|
* For the Vancouver summit, I helped bring in the ally skills workshops from
|
|
the Ada Initiative, so that our community can continue to be a welcoming
|
|
environment [4].
|
|
|
|
* Within the Cinder team, I have enabled all to provide good documentation for
|
|
important items in our release notes in Kilo [5] and Liberty [6].
|
|
* Other projects have reached out to me after Kilo feeling motivated for this
|
|
same effort. I've explained in the August 2015 Operators midcycle meetup
|
|
that I will make this a cross-project effort in order to provide better
|
|
communication to our operators and users.
|
|
|
|
* I started an OpenStack Dev List summary in the OpenStack Weekly Newsletter
|
|
(What you need to know from the developer's list), in order to enable others
|
|
to keep up with the dev list on important cross-project information. [7][8]
|
|
|
|
* I created the Cinder v2 API which has brought consistency in
|
|
request/responses with other OpenStack projects.
|
|
* I documented Cinder v1 and Cinder v2 API's. Later on I created the Cinder
|
|
API reference documentation content. The attempt here was to enable others
|
|
to have somewhere to start, to continue quality documentation with
|
|
continued developments.
|
|
|
|
Please help me to do more positive work in this project. It would be an honor
|
|
to be member of your technical committee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you,
|
|
Mike Perez
