In this capacity +I worked to bring new OpenStack contributors up to speed, help them understand +and keep them aligned to community goals, and to be the voice of community and +upstream-first development within my workplace. More recently I have had the +privilege of taking a more hands-on role with OpenStack-Helm, and have served +as PTL as it transitioned to become an Official OpenStack project. + +OpenStack-Helm is a technically impressive project, and has the potential to +not only redefine how OpenStack clouds are deployed and operated, but also to +help redefine what it means to be an OpenStack cloud, by allowing simple +stitching together of OpenStack and third-party components into custom +solutions. However, the reason OpenStack-Helm is successful is because of a +passionate team of talented engineers who work tirelessly to push the boundary +of what's possible with containerized technology. I'm humbled daily by +this team, and a key goal of mine in the Rocky cycle is to enable you, help +you succeed, and grow your ranks. I see PTL as a servant leader role. + +In the Rocky release I would like to accomplish the following: +* Cut our 1.0 OpenStack-Helm release +* Build the skills and experience of the existing OpenStack-Helm team members +* Create mentoring/onboarding opportunities to onboard new team members quickly +* Build gates for Ocata and begin to ensure compatibility with Pike and Queens +* Develop and formalize our plans for OpenStack-Helm releases +* Groom a more diverse core reviewer team +* Harden OpenStack-Helm resiliency, scalability, and day 2 ops +* Create ops-oriented documentation for OpenStack-Helm +* Achieve OpenStack-Helm cross-gating with other projects +* Collaborate with other project teams on their charts' development + +Thank you for your consideration! +Matt McEuen
