I am running again for the position of Manila PTL.
|
|
|
|
I've been proud to serve as PTL for Manila for the first 4 releases and I while
|
|
the project has been hugely successful and continues to grow, I still see areas
|
|
where more work is needed to make Manila a world-class project.
|
|
|
|
If elected PTL, my agenda for Mitaka will be:
|
|
|
|
Alleviate Developer Pain - Too much time is wasted with unstable gate tests and
|
|
slow test jobs. My first priority will be to make it easier and faster to get
|
|
work done.
|
|
|
|
Continue Expanding Community - The community has grown a lot and we are
|
|
highly diverse, but I think more can be done to welcome new developers and
|
|
to make it easier for people to get involved.
|
|
|
|
Clean Up the Code - Manila has evolved somewhat from it's origins as a fork
|
|
of Cinder, and we still carry about some old cruft. This is confusing to users
|
|
and developers and makes it hard for new vendors to figure how how to write
|
|
a driver. I propose fixing some longstanding inconsistencies and improving
|
|
the interface between the Share Manager and the drivers.
|
|
|
|
Deployer Quality of Life Features - While vendors will always push for features
|
|
that show off fancy capabilities of their storage controllers, we have a
|
|
responsibility to address the needs of deployers, such as scalability, high
|
|
availability, and upgradeability. I would like most of the new feature work in
|
|
Mitaka to be oriented around these areas.
