Hi All,
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the Cinder project for
|
|
the 2024.2 cycle.
|
|
|
|
I think Rajat has done an excellent job serving the project and I would
|
|
like to carry existing efforts forward while continuing to focus
|
|
maintaining a healthy and productive community around the Cinder
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
I've been contributing to the Cinder project in varying capacity for
|
|
close to 10 years. I've worked on migration and replication at the
|
|
driver layer, mentored new contributors from the outreachy project, and
|
|
provided bug fixes and reviews wherever possible. I'm a core reviewer
|
|
and also a stable core. I have served as the release liaison for the
|
|
last 2 cycles and run a weekly bug squashing meeting to help maintain
|
|
our launchpad backog.
|
|
|
|
We continue to face review bandwidth pressure. Emphasis should be
|
|
placed on encouraging contributors to do code reviews and to recognize
|
|
the efforts of those currently participating. There are several
|
|
potential core reviewers and I feel that empowering the community is one
|
|
way to increase engagement and the quality of our releases.
|
|
|
|
3rd party CI continues to be crucial resource for evaluating
|
|
driver-specific changes. Maintaining good 3rd party CI for the drivers
|
|
supported in Cinder by providing clear documentation and requirements
|
|
will be a focus.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, we have room for improvement in our backup and restore use
|
|
case. My goal is to improve the entire backup/restore situation so that
|
|
it can be leveraged by users in production environments. Our customers
|
|
are using 3rd party backup products to backup workloads and volumes and
|
|
I think this is one are where improvements here can directly benefit
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
In summary, I would like to continue the efforts made by Rajat and
|
|
continue to focus the areas most in need of attention for the 2024.2
|
|
cycle. I will do my best to make a positive contribution to both the
|
|
technical and community aspects of Cinder during my time as PTL. Thank
|
|
you for your consideration.
|
|
