Due to the small size +of the current Glance team, any investment in upstream Glance maintenance would +result in a meaningful reduction in business risk for any organisation that +relies on OpenStack clouds. + +As a relatively small component that is nevertheless fundamental to OpenStack +clouds, Glance also presents a good opportunity for an organisation to build +expertise in OpenStack development processes that it can later apply to +furthering its other interests in OpenStack. + +Technical Details +----------------- + +Glance is looking for new contributors who would be willing to provide reviews, +to work on bugs, or to work on new features. Glance has welcomed interns, +junior developers, and more senior developers. In every case, it is a great way +to grow and contribute to OpenStack. + +Part of the work of a maintainer is in simply responding to changes (in +dependent libraries, or other OpenStack components), and in investigating and +fixing bugs as they are discovered. + +However, Glance is not feature-complete - there remain opportunities to take +meaningful ownership of parts of the project by reducing technical debt or +`implementing features`_. + +Finally, maintainers can help ensure that the :doc:`../../../goals/index` for +each cycle are implemented. This is essential for allowing the OpenStack +project as a whole to move forward in cases where changes must be co-ordinated +across every project. + +Contact +------- + +You are welcome to contact the :doc:`Glance PTL <../../projects/glance>` (Erno +Kuvaja) or any member of the `core review team`_ directly for advice on how to +get involved. + +To get started, join the Glance IRC channel (``#openstack-glance`` on `Freenode +`_) or reach out to the OpenStack-discuss `mailing list`_ +using the ``[glance]`` tag in the subject line. + +.. _`implementing features`: https://specs.openstack.org/glance-specs/specs/untargeted/index.html +.. _`core review team`: https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/13,members +.. _`mailing list`: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-discuss diff --git a/reference/upstream-investment-opportunities/2019/template.rst b/reference/upstream-investment-opportunities/2019/template.rst deleted file mode 120000 index adb091cf2..000000000 --- a/reference/upstream-investment-opportunities/2019/template.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -../template \ No newline at end of file
