I'd be honored to continue to serve as your PTL for OpenStack Swift.
Like many other OpenStack projects, Swift's contributor base has grown
smaller and become more employer-concentrated. This change brings new
challenges about how to coordinate work, hold to open principles, and
attract new contributors. Additionally, the OpenStack Foundation is
changing focus to include things not in OpenStack itself. Both of
these changes raise questions about Swift's future. As PTL, I will
continue to work with people inside and outside of our community to
figure out how we can be successful together.
As to internal technical direction, our long-term plans are relatively
unchanged. We need to improve efficiency in large storage servers. We
need to improve internal protocols so that client requests can be
balanced with internal requests. We need to improve the way objects
are stored to reduce overhead and improve performance. Each of these
technical challenges need to happen with continued feedback from
operators and end users. As PTL, I will continue to work within the
Swift community to coordinate this work and ensure it gets done.
