So instead of bribing you with +campaign promises, I'd like to take this opportunity to look at the current +state of the project and what things look like for the Victoria cycle. + +The Cinder community remained fairly stable from Train to Ussuri, which was +great in these downsizing times. Some of the drivers that were marked +'unsupported' for the Train release have been restored to 'supported' status +during the Ussuri cycle. Some, however, have not. We relaxed the removal +policy to give vendors more time to address CI issues and to make it easier for +operators using such drivers. We'll see during the Victoria cycle whether this +actually encourages the vendors of drivers that have been declared +'unsupported' to get their third-party CIs running again and having the drivers +reinstated. + +During Ussuri, the team gained more testing expertise, particularly around +creating more scenario tests, though this hasn't been reflected yet in +committed code. As we get more scenario tests into the cinder-tempest-plugin, +we'll be able to catch more bugs that affect multiple drivers, whereas now what +mostly happens is that driver maintainers fix these piecemeal as they become +aware that they affect their drivers. Thus, increasing the scnario test +coverage will continue to be a focus in Victoria. + +The virtual PTG that we held as a follow-up to the Shanghai PTG was productive, +as were the two virtual mid-cycle meetings we had this cycle. So I think we're +in good shape to make the most of the fully virtual Victoria PTG. + +I think as a community, we're all doing good work on the Cinder project. We've +got cinderlib to keep us relevant in a container-oriented world, and I think +we're doing a solid job keeping the software stable and reliable. I'm sure the +driver maintainers would like to see faster review turnaround (as would we +all), so it will be a priority early in the cycle to identify contributors +interested in becoming members of the cinder-core team and mentoring them along +so that we can eventually increase the size of the core team during the cycle. + +In short, things are good, they could be better, and I'd like the opportunity +to help drive the project as Victoria PTL. + +Thank you for your consideration, +Brian Rosmaita (rosmaita)
