A candidate for source of truth could + be etcd, due to its presence in the OpenStack reference architecture. +* Simplifying further our "repo build". +* Simplifying our tasks, by using convention over configuration + (Reducing the group configurability for example). +* Reducing the need of our dynamic inventory: everyone + should be able to use openstack-ansible with a simple static inventory. +* Clarify each role maturity/contributions status. This would + make easier for deployers to understand the status of each role, and + take the appropriate decisions to whether or not deploy project x + or y. If we make it simple to contribute to new + roles and playbooks, it would also open us to more contributions + and contributors. + +On top of those simplification topics, I'd like to add the following +features in the next cycle, depending on their release timing: +* Upgrade to Ansible 2.5 +* Support Ubuntu 18.04 + +I look forward to keep working with you all, and it would be my +honor to serve as PTL for the next cycle. + +Best regards, + +Jean-Philippe Evrard (evrardjp)
