I started contributing to OpenStack in +Liberty release (2015). I've contributed to several projects, mainly +Neutron, neutron-lib, os-ken and os-vif, in addition to Nova and +devstack. During the last two years I've been focused on the ML2/OVN +integration, QoS and Placement related features and helping on the +Neutron CI improvement and stabilization. + +For this new release, those are the main goals I would like to focus +on: + +* Continue with the improvement of CI stability. This has been a very high + time consuming task for the Neutron community, but the improvements can + be seen in the number of rechecks and CI time used by Neutron. We must + continue with this effort during the next release. + +* Keep working on the smart NIC / hardware offload testing. This is + something I personally started during the last cycle but with little + success, but we should continue with this effort. + +* Keep working on the approved (or active) specs with active developments: +** Metadata rate limit (LP#1989199) +** Expose backend hints in the port API, hint ovs-tx-steering (LP#1990842) +** ML2/OVN IPv6 Distributed routing (LP#1998609) +** Active-active L3 Gateway with Multihoming (LP#2002687) +** Configurable Security Group rules added by default to the new Security + Groups (LP#1983053) + +Apart from those main goals, we should always keep an eye on: + +* The SQLAlchemy 2.0 migration and any possible issue detected. During the + last two releases we found and solved several issues related to the + migration to SQLAlchemy 2.0. We need to keep watching for new possible + issues. + +* The Neutron's stadium ecosystem is alive and healthy: this is a + permanent goal in any release. The Neutron ecosystem is wide and diverse + and it is maintained with few resources. We should focus on those active + projects and communities that support their respective repositories. + +* Still closing (or surpassing) the ML2/OVS - ML2/OVN feature gap. + +* The spec tracking and review, in order to continue adding new + functionalities. + + +Thank you in advance. + +Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez (ralonsoh, ralonsoh@redhat.com)
