Hello friends,
|
||
|
||
We are now going into our first official PTL election for Searchlight and I
|
||
would be honored if you’ll allow me to continue serving in the PTL role.
|
||
|
||
Searchlight became a new project in Liberty after being split out from its
|
||
initial experimental days in Glance. Since then we’ve been we’ve been moving
|
||
at a relatively fast pace towards fulfilling our mission: To provide advanced
|
||
and scalable indexing and search across multi-tenant cloud resources.
|
||
|
||
It would be a huge understatement to say that accomplishing this mission is
|
||
important to me. I believe that search is critical to enabling a better
|
||
experience for OpenStack users and operators alike.
|
||
|
||
In Liberty, we have made tremendous progress thanks to a small, but
|
||
passionate team who believes in the vision of Searchlight. At the Mitaka
|
||
summit we’ll be able to demonstrate a Horizon panel plugin able to search
|
||
across Glance, Nova, and Designate.
|
||
|
||
I believe that the PTL role is a commitment to the community to act as a
|
||
steward for the project. As PTL for an early stage project like searchlight,
|
||
I believe that some of these responsibilities are to:
|
||
|
||
* Evangelize the project across the OpenStack ecosystem
|
||
* Provide technical guidance and contribution
|
||
* Facilitate collaboration across the community
|
||
* Enable all developers to contribute effectively
|
||
* Grow a community of potential future project PTLs
|
||
* And perhaps most importantly, enable the project to release
|
||
|
||
I believe software must be developed with a clear demonstration of its
|
||
value. With Searchlight, I do believe that a UI is one of the most effective
|
||
ways to bring the value of Searchlight to OpenStack users. This is why
|
||
from day 1, I have been actively evangelizing Searchlight with Horizon. Once
|
||
users are able to actually take advantage of Searchlight, I believe
|
||
Searchlight will become a must have component of any OpenStack deployment.
|
||
|
||
From a feature standpoint, I believe all of the following are great
|
||
candidate goals for us to pursue in Mitaka and I look forward to working
|
||
with the community as establish priorities.
|
||
|
||
* (Obviously) Extend search indexing to as many projects as possible
|
||
** With a priority on the original integrated release projects
|
||
* Provide reference deployment architectures and deployment tooling as needed
|
||
* Establish performance testing
|
||
* Work towards cross-region search support
|
||
* Enable pre-defined quick queries for the most common searches
|
||
* Release the horizon search panel either in Horizon master or on its own
|
||
* Enable horizon top nav search to become a reality [0]
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your consideration in allowing me to continue serving as PTL
|
||
for the Mitaka cycle.
|
||
|
||
Thank you,
|
||
Travis
