Let me explain why. + +I am a Principal Devops Engineer at Mirantis and I have been actively working with cloud +technologies since 2012. So I am not new here. Moreover I am happy to have an experience of +having been on both sides of the barricades: deployment and usage of various cloud configurations. + +From 2012 till 2017 I was closely involved in development of one of the most popular +Openstack deployment tools - Fuel, and I was Fuel PTL during Newton release cycle. +So even PTL role is not new for me. + +Since 2017 I've been an active Openstack and Kubernetes user in different projects including +fintech and telecom industries. + +We at Mirantis are using Openstack-helm in two large downstream projects and are very interested +in keeping the Openstack-helm light on. Many of our engineers have decent expertise and as a Mirantis +employee I am in constant contact with them. + +Openstack-helm hasn't been under very active development recently but still it is +a very important part of the Openstack ecosystem. I believe we can continue to improve it +to help those individuals and companies that want to benefit from using openstack-helm. + +What we can do is to make it even more user friendly which means the following: + +1) Improve the documentation +2) Resolve/respond to existing Storyboard requests and try to react quickly to the new ones +3) Support newer OS distributions (Ubuntu Focal, Fedora 36, Centos Stream) +4) Support newer Openstack releases (Yoga, Zed) + +Thanks for reading. If you like the plan, please vote.
