In my Train nomination [1] I proposed a few things, +including: + +* help those on the periphery of the project get more involved +* try a new meeting time +* hold a virtual PTG +* adopt some of ironic's planning and tracking processes +* continue improving CI testing + +During the cycle we have helped a number of new contributors get involved, and +have taken on a new core contributor who is already one of the most active +members. We polled for a new meeting time but found we were already optimal. +The virtual PTG helped us to prioritise our efforts, and I expect we'll hold +another this cycle. + +We now use a whiteboard [2] similar to ironic's, and went through a process of +prioritisation of features for this cycle which we continue to use to guide our +efforts. Finally, CI test coverage continues to improve - notably the new +multinode upgrade job caught a pretty nasty MariaDB upgrade bug that we might +not otherwise have spotted before release. + +If elected this cycle I'd like to continue to reflect on our processes, and +encourage increasing test coverage for further stability. We recently added +Kayobe [3] as a project deliverable, and I intend to ensure that these two +overlapping communities come together effectively to make the most effective +use of our combined resources. + +Thanks for reading, +Mark Goddard (mgoddard) + +[1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-March/003617.html +[2] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/KollaWhiteBoard +[3] https://docs.openstack.org/kayobe
