My other job is +contributing upstream where i can including several Oslo projects, Nova, +Requirements and Release team. I have served as PTL for Oslo for the last +two terms and am proud of our accomplishments including getting rid of the +oslo-incubator, building up our test matrix for better backwards compatibility +testing and increasing the number of people invested in different Oslo projects. + +We have a lot of challenges including figuring out how to balance +stability/innovation, fostering new talent, target our limited resources +to make OpenStack even better than it is today. I would like to offer some +ideas as part of the technical committee based on my previous experiences +at ASF, a startup from scratch, working at Big Blue etc. + +While working on Oslo as PTL, gave me a lot of insight into how different +projects go about their work. Being part of the Requirements and Release +team has helped me understand the day-to-day challenges of how we pull in +different directions but still end up moving forward. Spending time looking +at gate issues and setting up CI jobs has given me a lot of appreciation +around how many things there are we could work on and fix. As part of +the technical committee, i am hoping to help with: + +- Cross Project issues, increasing collaboration between projects +- Backwards compatibility issues and testing +- Evangelizing great ideas from different projects + +Starting with @markmc, @sdague, @dhellmann and a whole of of others i have +received a lot of support and guidance over the years. I would like to +pay it forward for the new set of folks who are coming, learning +our ways and becoming part of our community. + +Thanks, +Davanum Srinivas (aka Dims) + +Review history: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:dims-v,n,z +Commit history: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/owner:dims-v,n,z +Stackalytics: http://stackalytics.com/?user_id=dims-v +OpenHUB: https://www.openhub.net/accounts/davanum +Freenode: dims +Twitter: https://twitter.com/dims
