I've had the great privilege of leading this unique team for +the past three releases. During this time, we've had an enviable momentum and +some fantastic achievements while building impactful software. I have +enjoyed being a catalyst and an advocate for this motivated team, and I wish to +do this a bit longer. + +In Wallaby, we harnessed our diverse strengths to mentor five new contributors +through our student project internships, two of who were sponsored through +Outreachy funding. They have all expressed their desire to become long term +contributors. I am very proud of the manila team for their sincerity and +enthusiasm in aiding new Stackers. I seek to further this outreach through the +Xena release cycle. + +Testing and project quality will remain a top priority. The team was able to +get new interop guidelines published last cycle, and we will focus on adding +more test coverage under these guidelines, alongside addressing test gaps and +innovating on more test scenarios. + +We have continued to implement the pro-active backport policy to get bugfixes +back to stable branches and request timely releases of these stable branches. +In the Xena cycle, I intend to codify this policy based on our learning and +spread the release responsibility and know-how around the team. + +We split project maintenance into sub-teams during the Wallaby cycle, and +recruited sub-team core reviewers. An increase in focus and velocity ensued +across project code repositories. I intend to propose more additions to these +sub-teams in the Xena cycle and encourage more contributors to take on +project maintenance responsibilities. + +So, if you will have me, I wish to serve you through Xena and get things done. + +Thank you for your support, + +Goutham Pacha Ravi +IRC: gouthamr + +[1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-March/020895.html \ No newline at end of file
