I would like to submit my candidacy +for the PTL position in the following cycle. + +I think we, as a team, did a tremendous job in last cycles, ensuring that Kolla +is and will be the great project to work on and to use. Opensource project is only +as good as its community, and Kolla has proven many times over that it excels in +this front. PTL is just a the first among equals, facilitator for group, +but it's the group that is important. I would be happy to help our community +as PTL to grow while keeping its openness, friendliness, equality and diversity. + +I have been a developer in operations teams for 5 years now. In my opinion Kolla is +an operators' tool which means operators' priorities should be also Kolla's top +priorities. That means stability, careful maintenance of stable branches, +good documentation, troubleshooting and maintenance procedures. + +You might know me by my work, which includes: + +* Upgrade playbooks +* OSIC cluster testing kickoff +* Customization mechanism for Dockerfiles +* Parts of HA infrastructure +* Early logging infrastructure + +My hope for our project, first and foremost, is to provide operators way to +deploy and run OpenStack in a way that will not cost them their nerves. It's my +aspiration for our community that we make sure that OpenStack can be easily and +quickly deployed, upgraded, maintained and scalable. I joined Kolla because I +thought this project holds potential to help achieve these goals (which are +still the biggest issues in OpenStack, according to user survey), and I believe I +was right to do so. + +As PTL my technical goals for Ocata cycle would be: + +* Make Kolla easy to extend - there are lots of snowflakes +* Ensure that all the tools are present for large scale deployments - 300+ node +* Provide easier config management and overrides for non-ini configs +* Work on multi-node CI jobs - to ensure HA +* Work on upgrade CI jobs +* Split up kolla-ansible, but keep it as reference implementation for ocata cycle +* Ensure high security of Kolla-deployed OpenStack +* Adhere to feedback from our early adopters and evaluators +* Initial release of Kolla-kubernetes + +My goals for our community will include: + +* Keep Kolla community diverse. We are one of most diverse project, and we want + to keep it. This is sign of healthy community. +* Extend Kolla's reach to operators and help operators to have their voice and + commits included in Kolla project +* Keep Kolla growing and ensure that as it grows, it won't close up for + newcomers, that resonates nicely with diversity +* Make a "Woot for Kolla" tradition in our weekly meetings:) + +I am very grateful for a vote of confidence from You and I promise to do my +very best to ensure that Kolla remains a great project, friendly community and +dependable toolset for production OpenStacks. + +Regards, +Michal +
