This change brings new +challenges about how to coordinate work, hold to open principles, and +attract new contributors. Additionally, the OpenStack Foundation is +changing focus to include things not in OpenStack itself. Both of +these changes raise questions about Swift's future. As PTL, I will +continue to work with people inside and outside of our community to +figure out how we can be successful together. + +As to internal technical direction, our long-term plans are relatively +unchanged. We need to improve efficiency in large storage servers. We +need to improve internal protocols so that client requests can be +balanced with internal requests. We need to improve the way objects +are stored to reduce overhead and improve performance. Each of these +technical challenges need to happen with continued feedback from +operators and end users. As PTL, I will continue to work within the +Swift community to coordinate this work and ensure it gets done.
