Now that +we've joined the Big Tent[1], having a committed leader is +more important than ever :) . + +I believe the App Catalog has tremendous potential for +helping the end-users of OpenStack clouds find and share +things they can deploy on those clouds. To that end, I've +been working with folks on extending the types of assets +that can live in the catalog and also trying to make finding +and consuming those assets easier. + +Since we announced the Community App Catalog I've done +everything I could to deliver on the "community" part. With +the help of the OpenStack Infra team, we moved the site to +OpenStack infrastructure as quickly as possible. All +planning and coordination efforts have happened on IRC +(#openstack-app-catalog), the dev and operators mailing +list, and during the weekly IRC meetings[2]. I've also been +working to get more people engaged and involved with the +Community App Catalog project while attempting to raise the +profile and exposure whenever possible. + +Speaking of community, I know being part of the OpenStack +community at a broad level is one of the most important +things for a PTL. On that front I'm active and always +available on IRC (docaedo), and do my best to stay on top of +all the traffic on the dev mailing list. I also work with +Richard Raseley to organize the OpenStack meetup in Portland +in order to reach, educate (and entertain) people who want +to learn more about OpenStack. + +The next big thing we will do for the Community App Catalog +is to build out the backend so it becomes a more engaging +experience for the users, as well as makes it easier for +other projects to contribute and consume the assets. In +addition to the Horizon plugin[3][4] (check it out with +devstack, it's pretty cool!) we are thinking through the API +side of this and will eventually contribute the code to +search, fetch and push from the OpenStack Client. + +All of this is to say that I'm eager and proud to serve as +the Community App Catalog PTL for the next six months if +you'll have me! + +[1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/217957/ +[2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/app-catalog +[3] https://github.com/stackforge/apps-catalog-ui +[4] https://github.com/openstack/app-catalog-ui
