Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack community is seeking coordinators for
|
|
the work to fulfill our :ref:`release-cycle-goals`.
|
|
|
|
Business Case
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Organizations who sponsor Goal Champions
|
|
have someone in-house who understands the upstream decision making and
|
|
implementation work across services and projects. This in-house
|
|
expertise can help minimize disruption to downstream products and
|
|
services and help position timely communications and expectations with
|
|
regard to upcoming changes.
|
|
|
|
Sponsors of Goal Champions are well-positioned to influence
|
|
decision-making not only the implementation choices meeting
|
|
community-wide initiatives, but also to help drive the choice and
|
|
rollout of upstream goals and use this influence to ensure that one's
|
|
own downstream products or deployments remain vital and targeted to
|
|
real use cases.
|
|
|
|
Sponsorship of a Goal Champion is a good way for an organisation to
|
|
demonstrate leadership across the whole of OpenStack, make a direct
|
|
impact on the productivity of other contributors, and build
|
|
influence among peers. Goal Champions make great candidates for
|
|
future elected leadership positions in OpenStack.

Technical Details
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Each release series, the OpenStack Technical Committee selects a set
|
|
of shared objectives to be fulfilled in that release cycle, that
|
|
provide value across Openstack projects by e.g. advancing consistency
|
|
and user experience across OpenStack or addressing shared technical
|
|
debt. These goals are selected from a `backlog of potential goals`_
|
|
based on feedback from deployers, users, contributors, and PTLs and
|
|
goal discussion during Forum events.
|
|
|
|
PTLs are responsible for ensuring that the work required to meet a
|
|
goal is completed within their own projects, but Goal Champions are
|
|
needed to guide, coordinate and track the work across projects. A
|
|
Goal Champion needs a general understanding of the technical issues
|
|
involved in a goal, but primarily needs to communicate, track
|
|
progress, foster shared understanding across projects, and help remove
|
|
impediments.

-------
|
|
|
|
If possible, attend Forum and Summit sessions on series goals and
|
|
offer to sponsor a champion for a goal as part of the discussions at
|
|
these. After these face to face events, discussion of goals continues
|
|
on the Technical Committee IRC channel (``#openstack-tc`` on `OFTC
|
|
<https://www.oftc.net>`_) and on the OpenStack-discuss `mailing list`_
|
|
using the ``[goals]`` tag in the subject line.
