Greetings,
|
|
|
|
I am writing to submit my candidacy for election for Project Team Lead
|
|
for the Trove project. I have been an active technical contributor to
|
|
the Trove project since just before the Icehouse release when Trove
|
|
was integrated into OpenStack. I have also contributed code[1] and
|
|
reviews[2] to some other OpenStack projects. I am one of the two
|
|
authors of the book on Trove[3], the other author is my colleague and
|
|
a fellow Trove contributor, Doug Shelley.
|
|
|
|
Over the past two years, Trove has come a very long way, adding
|
|
support for a dozen databases, and providing users the ability to
|
|
orchestrate complex topologies of these databases, and manage them
|
|
through their lifecycle. In the Mitaka release we have seen the
|
|
addition of a number of exciting and new capabilities for databases
|
|
like Cassandra, CouchDB, MariaDB, MongoDB, Percona XtraDB Cluster, and
|
|
Vertica.
|
|
|
|
Looking ahead to Newton and Ocata, I think the project has some
|
|
specific areas where focus is needed. These include:
|
|
|
|
* paying down the technical debt both in shipping code and tests,
|
|
|
|
* strenghtening the community and adding more contributors,
|
|
reviewers and core reviewers,
|
|
|
|
* addressing issues with the review backlog,
|
|
|
|
* improve integrations with other projects (specifically Cinder,
|
|
Manila, Ironic, Magnum and Sahara),
|
|
|
|
* continuing to extend the capabilities of trove especially in the
|
|
area of some specific requirements from large enterprises, and
|
|
|
|
* making it easier to use Trove, to make guest images, and other
|
|
commonly reported problems.
|
|
|
|
All of these are things that have come up from within the community
|
|
and I look forward to working to continue to make progress on these
|
|
efforts.
|
|
|
|
Thank you, and I would appreciate your vote in the election.
