Hi everyone,
|
|
|
|
I'd like to be considered for Glance PTL.
|
|
|
|
First: thanks (again) to Flavio for his leadership over the last cycle.
|
|
|
|
Glance is in pretty good shape right now: we have a coherent team which
|
|
is focussed on a well defined set of priorities. It's a relatively small
|
|
team, but we're fortunate to have a good range of strengths; every one
|
|
brings something valuable.
|
|
|
|
I've been contributing to Glance since Essex. I've probably touched
|
|
most areas of the code at some point since then, and I hope I've built
|
|
up a good understanding of the code base, the thinking behind most of it
|
|
... and the quirks too. I can't claim to know all the OpenStack code base
|
|
(who can?) but I've good relationships with folks from a bunch of other
|
|
projects I can reach out to, especially the ones Glance interacts with
|
|
(Keystone, Swift, Cinder etc).
|
|
|
|
For several years I was also an operator. Starting from Diablo (back when
|
|
we were still using integers, not uuids) I was responsible for running
|
|
Glance in HP's Public Cloud (24x7x365). That gave me a good understanding
|
|
of the issues operators face and, where I can, I've contributed back
|
|
based on my experience.
|
|
|
|
As a developer and operator my goal has been the same: to give the best
|
|
possible experience for users.
|
|
|
|
If elected I will be able to devote myself full time to the project,
|
|
be available on IRC, and hope to increase my own review rate.
|
|
|
|
Priorities for the Newton cycle:
|
|
|
|
* Image import refactor
|
|
|
|
We need to do everything we can to ensure DefCore can include an image
|
|
upload capability.
|
|
|
|
* v2 API adoption
|
|
|
|
We need to make it possible to deploy OpenStack without enabling Glance's
|
|
v1 API. There were some heroic efforts on the Nova side of this during
|
|
Mitaka (thanks Mike).
|
|
|
|
* Maintain focus.
|
|
|
|
Yes, we will work on other things during the cycle. But we shouldn't
|
|
commit to anything that could impact on our priorities. It's ok to say
|
|
"no" now and again. There will be other cycles.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your consideration.
|
|
|
|
