It's time to toss my hat into the ring for Infrastructure PTL, if
|
|
you'll have me. I wasn't around at the beginning like my illustrious
|
|
predecessors, but I've been a core reviewer and root sysadmin for
|
|
OpenStack's community-maintained project infrastructure these past
|
|
three years. In that time it's been my pleasure to help further the
|
|
tremendous growth we've experienced as a team and within the
|
|
OpenStack community as a whole.

As a free software idealist I'm proud not only of what we accomplish
|
|
but how we manage to do so without compromising on our standards of
|
|
transparency and openness, even when it may inconveniently highlight
|
|
new problems we also need to solve. The Infrastructure team serves
|
|
as a shining example of how communities can effectively collaborate
|
|
and produce while not relying on crutches of proprietary, commercial
|
|
tools. Expect me to continue encouraging our community to make the
|
|
hard choice in favor of free tools, of being a helpful downstream
|
|
for the communities of the tools we use, and of acting as a
|
|
responsible upstream to those who wish to reuse the tools we've
|
|
written to make our own work possible.
|
|
|
|
Hurtling now headlong into the Big Tent, our team is facing new and
|
|
interesting scaling challenges. I won't claim to possess easy
|
|
answers to the dilemmas awaiting us, but am confident in our ability
|
|
to solve them and will do everything I can to support you all to
|
|
that end. Great strides have already been made toward reorganizing,
|
|
delegating and distributing our decision making, and I expect us to
|
|
continue in those efforts as well as whatever new solutions we will
|
|
inevitably identify together.

|
The PTL's role is that of a communicator, facilitator, coordinator
|
|
and mentor; if these are the ways you'd like to see me spend the
|
|
next six months, then I'd appreciate your vote.
