I'm announcing my candidacy for a position on the OpenStack Technical
|
|
Committee.
|
|
|
|
I'm ChangBo Guo(AKA gcb)[1], currently working for EasyStack, leading
|
|
developers' upstream contribution on OpenStack in the company. I have been
|
|
working on the OpenStack since 2012, firstly focused on Nova and then focus
|
|
on Oslo, also contributed to several other projects[2]. I've been serving
|
|
as the PTL of Oslo (OpenStack Common libraries) for Pike and Queens.
|
|
|
|
During the last 5 years, as a developer I have the chance to talk with
|
|
users/operators, meeting users/operators' requirements and making
|
|
OpenStack more useful are important, that's the key factor to make OpenStack
|
|
successful. OpenStack has huge potential customers though some companies
|
|
adjust their investment on OpenStack. We have some progress on shortening
|
|
the feedback loop like building SIG(Special Interest Group) to involve more
|
|
users. Not all the users can raise their requirements easily due to the
|
|
barrier like language. TC may need work with UC to find more ways to collect
|
|
users/operators' requirements like we have 'Top 5 help wanted list' in
|
|
development cycle.
|
|
|
|
OpenStack is the first open source project I contributed, I've learned a lot
|
|
from community leaders in the past 5 years and guided some new contributors
|
|
how to work with other world wide contributors. It's not a easy to be
|
|
productive for a new contributor especially for whom without open source
|
|
experience. In last several cycles some key contributors changed their work,
|
|
not focus on OpenStack, in the other side, some new contributors couldn't find
|
|
'the right way' to contribute, posting trivial repeated patches, we're facing
|
|
the challenge! Though we have program 'OpenStack Upstream Institute' to training
|
|
new contributors, that's not enough for new contributor, because not all new
|
|
contributors can attend the the OpenStack Summit. TC may host more online events
|
|
to invite community leaders to communicate with new contributors, and help new
|
|
contributors to contribute in 'the right way'.
|
|
|
|
As a TC member I want to focus on shortening the feedback loop and guiding new
|
|
contributors. Thank you for your consideration!
