I am hereby announcing my candidacy for Searchlight PTL for Train. + +I have been involved in OpenStack since the Queens cycle as it is needed for +my research. Over the last three cycles, I learned a lot in both technical and +organizational aspects. That is thank to the help of many community members, +TCs, PTLs of the OpenStack projects that I am working on. That inspired me to +take the role of Searchlight PTL to help survive the project. I could say I +can commit my time for that responsibility with my current job. + +As many of you may know, at the end of the Rocky cycle, the TC intended to +remove Searchlight from the Governance (OpenStack official projects). The +reasons for that are because Searchlight has missed several milestones and +lacked communication of the PTL. I couldn't stand the fact that a pretty cool +project like Searchlight would be abandoned so I volunteered to be the PTL of +Searchlight for the Stein cycle. I hoped that I could do something to revive +it. With the help of some contributors, we finally could find a "light" +for the project. + +In the first two milestones of Stein, Searchlight has identified itself as a +useful tool in several use cases such as being a cloud resource lookup, a +cloud resource repository, and a multi-cloud search solution [1]. We hope +those use cases will attract more contributors and vendors to support and use +Searchlight in the near future. Moreover, the team has developed a grand +vision for Searchlight [2] to help sustain the project in alignment with the +OpenStack Cloud Vision [3]. The very first thing to make that vision come +true is building a strong foundation for Searchlight. I take that +responsibility personally and passionately. + +Like many other OpenStack projects, there are always challenges in contributor +participation. For that, I especially see the new contributor engagement is an +important job of the PTL and always looking for opportunities to do that +(e.g., conferences, meetup, training, etc.). That will not be changed whether +you'll have me as the Searchlight PTL for Train or not. I will continue working +on helping potential developers to come to Searchlight and build a strong +community around it. + +I know that I knew nothing about Searchlight before Stein. I'm not trying to +change things with big ideas here. I just want to help Searchlight succeed +in Train and further if I can. + +Thank you for your consideration. +Trinh Nguyen (dangtrinhnt) + +[1] https://docs.openstack.org/searchlight/latest/user/usecases.html +[2] https://docs.openstack.org/searchlight/latest/contributor/searchlight-vision.html +[3] https://docs.openstack.org/searchlight/latest/contributor/vision-reflection.html
