I'm running for reelection to a third +term as Infrastructure PTL. In my four years as a core reviewer and +root sysadmin for OpenStack's community-maintained project +infrastructure, I've strived to uphold the principles of open +collaboration and welcoming participation which define our team. + + https://wiki.openstack.org/user:fungi + +As in the past, I intend to continue making sure that our community +has a wealth of free and open tools available to ease contribution +of all kinds and increase the velocity of innovation under +OpenStack's mission. I want to make sure that our success can be +held high as an example of how interested individuals and companies +can come together to create and improve a commons of benefit not +only to themselves, but to all. + +I like to use this time to reflect on major efforts we've undertaken +over the current development cycle, as we do so much that we often +forget the magnitude of our accomplishments: We increased the size +of our infra-root sysadmin team again, further improving our +coverage in EMEA and APAC timezones. We more than doubled the +quantity of donations for server resources available to run CI jobs. +We replaced nearly all our servers, upgrading them to a more recent +operating system release. We finished removing Jenkins from our CI +toolchain, significantly altering the way jobs are dispatched and +increasing our overall CI efficiency as a result. We remotely built +a working OpenStack deployment from donated hardware using +openly-maintained automation and configuration management, and are +starting to use it to augment our available test resources. We +introduced a mechanism by which projects can declare system software +dependencies to their developers, and now leverage this to install +required packages at job run-time. We added several new Linux +distributions to our AFS-backed package mirror CDN. We now have +cryptographic signatures accompanying release tarballs generated by +our automation. Storyboard is becoming increasingly usable, and +stories/tasks can now reflect updates from associated Gerrit +changes. Our jobs and toolchain have been updated to support a new +LTS distro version for testing Newton. And these are just the tip of +the iceberg... there's so much more I'm probably still forgetting! + +The above accomplishments are not mine to claim, but when we work +together as a team and as a community we all benefit from one +another. I spent the cycle attempting to pair willing volunteers +with tasks that piqued their interests and challenged their skills, +bringing increased visibility to the needs of under-served corners +of the community and less actively maintained software in our +toolchain, and throwing myself into those unexciting sorts of tasks +that don't find sufficient volunteers but still needed to get done. +If this is what you want out of a team lead, I'm happy to do it +again!
