Hi all,
|
|
|
|
I would like to take the opportunity to announce my candidacy for
|
|
Glance PTL for Rocky cycle.
|
|
|
|
I've been working primarily with Glance since Icehouse and do work
|
|
full-time on Glance upstream. During that time I've served community in
|
|
stable and release liaison roles, as Glance and Glance stable core
|
|
reviewer and part of Glance bugs, drivers and security teams. I've been
|
|
part of team running Glance in sizeable public cloud and been part of
|
|
development of couple deployment tools: Helion lifecycle manager and
|
|
TripleO. Needless to say that production stability and scale has always
|
|
been on the top of my priority list. Thus it's likely not a surprise
|
|
that I like to identify the high points of my contributions being the
|
|
work to get Images API v2 production ready and lately driving the
|
|
efforts on Image Import Refactoring that provides the new Interoperable
|
|
Image Import that changes how images are brought into Glance by our
|
|
end users. Both things making sure that Glance stays as integral part
|
|
of OpenStack deployments and we as community do not need to reinvent
|
|
wheel to get image service that can be trusted in future production
|
|
deployments.
|
|
|
|
I've seen lots of the highs and lows of the Glance (community/project)
|
|
and am super proud that we've survived them and the fact that we're
|
|
still going strong. Same time the two last cycles have thought me an
|
|
important lesson, I'm not at my best writing code no matter how much I
|
|
like it and I cannot take full time support role and full time writing
|
|
code. The support side enabling the people better suitable for writing
|
|
the code is definitely the part of my contributions where I shine more.
|
|
|
|
Thus I'd like to take the support role for Rocky cycle as PTL and focus
|
|
my efforts to make sure we as a community keep going strong into the
|
|
future cycles and the people who do shine brighter writing the code
|
|
than I do could focus more of their time to that. Obviously that would
|
|
not mean that I'd be taking distance to the development and driving the
|
|
efforts or stop writing code all together. It's more of a matter where
|
|
should I prioritize my time?
|
|
|
|
So where do I see our focus for the foreseeable future?
|
|
|
|
* Strengthening the community needs to be at the top of our priority
|
|
list. While we're afloat and the team is operational we are by no
|
|
means at the optimal point of Glance developement. Enabling new
|
|
contributors to be effective and successful is important work that
|
|
needs to keep happening.
|
|
|
|
* Bug and stable work needs to pick up at my own part again. I've been
|
|
leaving that way too light lately and as team we haven't taken care
|
|
of our stable branches as well as we should.
|
|
|
|
* We need to work on finishing the work we're committing to and
|
|
prioritized. This also highlights the fact that we need more hands
|
|
on the deck as if everyone is focusing on putting out fires, it does
|
|
not matter how much we want to prioritize the work that is happening.
|
|
|
|
* When the crew is running light it's even more important to listen
|
|
our user comminuty to what prioritize. we need to keep focusing on
|
|
features and fixes that are actually needed and keep the nice to
|
|
have stuff on the correct level of efforts.
|
|
|
|
* On the technical side I see our priorities being strengthening the
|
|
Image Import so that it can be fully relied on production. We need
|
|
to make sure that our tools are operational for upgrades and the
|
|
lifecycle management and we definitely need to work towards making
|
|
sure we get rid of Images API v1 and don't need to waste any of our
|
|
precious time to keep that codebase still alive. If we can achieve
|
|
these by early Rocky we would be in so much better place to move
|
|
forward.
|
|
|
|
Looking the past Glance PTLs there is big boots to fill and I would
|
|
do my best not to fail the expectations.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for getting all the way down here and I hope we will work
|
|
together next cycles to make Glance being the best Glance possible.
