I am writing to submit my candidacy for re-election as the PTL for the
|
|
Trove project (Pike cycle). 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,
|
|
and have been an active participant in the Stewardship Working Group
|
|
[3] (SWG) and a not-so active participant in the Delimiter project.
|
|
|
|
I believe that in the Pike release we should continue to move forward
|
|
with the Trove project and continue to build on the improvements that
|
|
we were able to accomplish (some are still work in progress) in the
|
|
Ocata release.
|
|
|
|
- paying down our technical debt, including specifically some long
|
|
standing items that were listed by the TC at the time when Trove was
|
|
integrated, and improving our testing, addressing some long standing
|
|
issues with dependencies between the server and the client, and
|
|
|
|
- making it easier to use Trove by eliminating the trovestack tool and
|
|
instead offering a set of tools that will serve the purposes of end
|
|
users and deployers alike, and
|
|
|
|
- adding support for new datastores, capabilities and configurations,
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
- expanding the community, adding new contributors, contributing
|
|
companies, and end users interested in the project, and
|
|
|
|
- streamlining the API with the implementation of better versioning
|
|
support.
|
|
|
|
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the
|
|
development community who helped the Trove project during the Ocata
|
|
cycle; those who contributed code and reviews to the project as well
|
|
as members of the infra, release, stable, oslo, docs, dib, and other
|
|
project teams who helped us on innumerable occasions.
|
|
|
|
Not to pick on them too much, but I'd especially like to thank Davanum
|
|
Srinivas (dims), and Doug Hellmann for all their help on the release
|
|
team, and for all the things that they've done to make branching so
|
|
much easier. My thanks to Joshua Harlow, the PTL for oslo for his help
|
|
and support in getting a particularly knarly set of issues relating to
|
|
oslo_messaging.rpc put to rest. Last but not the least, to everyone on
|
|
the infra team who helped us with a bunch of changes that helped
|
|
considerably in speeding up the Trove check/gate process. The jury is
|
|
still out on those changes, but thanks folks for allowing us the
|
|
freedom to try the experiment.
|
|
|
|
Thank you, and I appreciate your support in the election. I have
|
|
Submitted this candidacy as review [4].
