Hi!
|
|
|
|
I would like to submit my candidacy to return as PTL of the Release
|
|
Management team for the Pike cycle.
|
|
|
|
You may remember me as the release manager from Bexar to Grizzly, and PTL of
|
|
the Release Management team from Havana to Liberty. I'd like to thank Doug
|
|
Hellmann for his service as PTL from Mitaka to Ocata. Under his leadership,
|
|
the Release Management team transformed from an artisan shop into a highly
|
|
efficient and scalable factory. His focus on writing down everything and
|
|
introducing automation everywhere will make the work of succeeding him easier
|
|
than ever. But we always wanted to introduce regular PTL rotation in the team,
|
|
so Doug won't run again, and for Pike I volunteer to take back that baton.
|
|
|
|
I would personally prefer to let someone else take it (and would love to see
|
|
other election candidates for this role !), but during this cycle we probably
|
|
failed to grow new members who would want to take over team leadership. People
|
|
with interest in cross-project functions like Release Management and time to
|
|
dedicate to it are a rare resource those days.
|
|
|
|
If elected, my plan is to:
|
|
|
|
- continue in the direction set by Doug toward more self-service
|
|
automation around Release Management, and focus the team on providing a
|
|
framework, advice and last-minute sanity checks before tagging releases.
|
|
|
|
- anticipate changes that we may need to do to accommodate the introduction
|
|
of new programming languages.
|
|
|
|
- add a few new members in the team, to grow the set of people able to
|
|
participate in a PTL rotation scheme in the future.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for reading until the last line!
