It would be a great experience as the Trove PTL to work +together with the team and the whole OpenStack big family in the +following months. + +Trove has been challenged by contribution lacking for the last +developing cycles. But users and developers show their interest +in the project from time to time, by asking help on the maillist, +IRC channel, and submitting patches to solve problems found in +their adoptions. I think focusing on the users' needs will help +to attract participation and it's always the key value of +OpenStack projects. + +For the Rocky cycle, I would like to focus on the following areas: + +* Documentation improvements: get and keep documents updated with + the code, add more docs about architecture, design and deploy + considerations, etc. + +* Better testing coverage for ensuring a solid code base. + +* Improve integration with other OpenStack projects: catch up to + adopt new features and interfaces of the infrastructure projects + like Oslo, Keystone, Nova, Cinder, Neutron, Swift, etc. + +* Bug triaging and smashing: pay more attentions to users' feedback + and also track how the project makes progress. + +* Try to achieve consensus on topics like: + - generic datastore abstraction instead of extending from the MySQL + implementation; + - improve support for different datastore versions; + - improve support for clustering; + - a policy of accepting/deprecating/removing a datastore backend + support into/from the project; + - and maybe much more from other contributors and the users. + + And make project goals based on the discussions. + +* Keep up with OpenStack-wide goals. + +* Looking forward opportunities to extend the team. + +Thanks. + +Zhao Chao(zhaochao)
