I've been lucky enough to work on Cinder since the +Grizzly release cycle. The Cinder community has grown every release, +and we've gotten a lot of great features implemented as well as many +new drivers. We've instituted a baseline requirement for third party +CI, which is critical to the quality of Cinder. I believe this goes +a long way to proving to deployers that Cinder is dedicated to building +a quality product. + +I believe the single best component of the project, is the diverse +community itself. We have people from all over the world helping +Cinder grow. We have companies that compete directly with each other, +in the marketplace for customers, working together to solve complex +problems. + +I would like to continue to encourage more driver developers to get +involved in Cinder core features. This is the future of the +community itself and the lifeblood of Cinder. We also need to get more +active in Nova to ensure that the interactions are stable. + +The following is a list of a few areas of focus that I would +like to encourage the community to consider over the next release. + +* Solidify all/any deadlines milestone deadlines early in the release +* Iron out the Nova <--> Cinder interactions +* Get active-active c-vol services working +* Get driver bug fixes into previous releases +* Continue the stabilization of the 3rd party CI system. +* Support any efforts to integrate with Ironic + + +There is always a long list of cool stuff to work on and issues to fix +in Cinder, and the more participation we have with Cinder core the better. +We have a strong and vibrant community and I look forward to working on +Cinder for many releases ahead. + +Thank you for considering me. + +Walter A.
