We've not only grown the +number of supported backend drivers, but we've made significant +improvements to the core code and raised the quality of existing +and incoming code contributions. While there are still many things +that need more polish, we are headed in the right direction and +block storage is a strong, stable component to many OpenStack clouds. + +Mike and John have provided the leadership to get the project where +it is today. I would like to keep that momentum going. + +I've spent over a decade finding new and interesting ways to create +and delete volumes. I also work across many different product teams +and have had a lot of experience collaborating with groups to find +a balance between the work being done to best benefit all involved. + +I think I can use this experience to foster collaboration both within +the Cinder team as well as between Cinder and other related projects +that interact with storage services. + +Some topics I would like to see focused on for the Mitaka release +would be: + + * Complete work of making the Cinder code Python3 compatible. + * Complete conversion to objects. + * Sort out object inheritance and appropriate use of ABC. + * Continued stabilization of third party CI. + * Make sure there is a good core feature set regardless of backend type. + * Reevaluate our deadlines to make sure core feature work gets enough + time and allows drivers to implement support. + +While there are some things I think we need to do to move the project +forward, I am mostly open to the needs of the community as a whole +and making sure that what we are doing is benefiting OpenStack and +making it a simpler, easy to use, and ubiquitous platform for the +cloud. + +Thank you for your consideration! + +Sean McGinnis (smcginnis)
