Hey OpenStack Community,
|
||
|
||
I would like to submit my name for Cinder PTL for the Queens release.
|
||
|
||
For those of you who may not know me, I have been active in OpenStack since
|
||
early 2013. Soon after starting with the community I started working with
|
||
the Cinder Team and was nominated for Core Team Member status shortly after that.
|
||
|
||
My Cinder Career has had high points like the Cheesecake vs Tiramisu naming
|
||
and had low points like the famous Wifi Fiasco of 2015. I have been
|
||
fortunate enough while working with Cinder to achieve Stable Core status, been
|
||
able to serve as the Oslo Liaison and now most recently I am also serving as the
|
||
Documentation Liaison. So, I do see a wide swath of the project.
|
||
|
||
We have been blessed, as a project, with great leadership over the years and I
|
||
would be honored to continue in that tradition. I have worked closely with
|
||
Sean McGinnis during his time as PTL and feel that I could come up to speed
|
||
in the role quickly given that experience. I also am very fortunate, as the
|
||
Cloud Storage Lead for Lenovo’s Cloud Technology Center to be in a position
|
||
and have support to make time for the PTL role.
|
||
|
||
I feel that the Cinder project is currently entering a new era and faces a
|
||
number of challenges in the coming releases. Many of our seasoned members
|
||
have been pulled to other priorities and in response to that I want to
|
||
continue to make it easier to bring new people into the Cinder team. I
|
||
have been active in the Upstream Institute training and have created the
|
||
On-Boarding content that is currently available for Cinder. Both of
|
||
these are resources I hope we can continue to grow to facilitate bringing
|
||
new members into the team. My current focus on documentation will also,
|
||
hopefully, make it easier for everyone to work with and contribute to Cinder.
|
||
|
||
Cinder has gone through a number of releases trying to add new features.
|
||
While some new features do deserve more attention, like Standalone Cinder,
|
||
HA and integration with Containers, I feel our focus is changing. Now we
|
||
have started to swing towards focusing on fixing Cinder and making it more
|
||
stable and user friendly. This is a trend I would like to see continue
|
||
during the next release.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for taking the time to consider me for Queens PTL. I hope I
|
||
may have the opportunity to lead this great and talented team!
|
