I have joined the OpenStack community +since 2012 as operator and started as full time upstream contributor since +2014 during mid of Ice-House release. Currently, I am PTL for the QA Program +since the Rocky cycle and active contributor in QA projects and Nova. Also I +have been randomly contributing in many other projects specially on Tempest +plugins for bug fix and tempest compatibility changes. + +Along with that, I am actively involved in programs helping new contributors +in OpenStack. 1. As mentor in the Upstream Institute Training since Barcelona +Summit (Oct 2016)[1] 2. FirstContact SIG [2] to help new contributors to onboard +in OpenStack. It's always a great experience to introduce OpenStack upstream +workflow to new contributors and encourage them to start contribution. I feel +that is very much needed in OpenStack because of current movement of experience +contributors. + +TC direction has always been valuable and result oriented in technical debt or +efforts towards Diversity of community. This kind of work/position never been easy +task specially in such a big community like OpenStack. By observing the TC work +from past couple of years, I am very much motivated to help in this direction in +order to contribute more towards cross projects and collaboration among projects +or people. + +Below are the key areas I would like to Focus as TC: + +* Share Project teams work for Common Goals: Every cycle we have TC goals and some + future direction where all the projects needs to start working. Projects try to do + their best in that but big challenge for them is resource bandwidth. In Current + situation, It is very hard for projects teams to accommodate those work by themselves. + Project team are shrinking and key members are overloaded. My Idea is to form a + temporary team of contributors under Goal champion and finish those common area work + during starting of cycle (so that we can make sure to finish the work well on time and + test throughout the cycle). That temporary team can be formed with volunteers from any + project team or new part time contributors with help of OUI or FirstContact SIG etc. + +* Cross-project and cross-community testing: I would like to work more on collaboration + of testing effort across projects and community. We have plugins approach for testing + in OpenStack and I agree that which is not perfect at this stage. I would like to work + on more collaboration and guidelines to improve that area. From QA team point of view, + I would like QA team to do more collaborative work for all the projects for their proper + testing. And further, extend the testing collaboration among adjacent communities. + +* Encourage new leaders: new contributors and so new leaders are much required in + community. Some internal or external leadership program etc can be very helpful. + +Regardless of the results of this election I will work hard towards above directions +and help community at my best. + +Thank you for your reading and consideration. + +Ghanshyam Mann (gmann) + +* Review: http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&metric=marks&user_id=ghanshyammann&project_type=all +* Commit: http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&metric=commits&user_id=ghanshyammann&project_type=all +* Foundation Profile: https://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/6461 +* Website: https://ghanshyammann.com +* IRC (Freenode): gmann + +[1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Institute_Occasions + https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Institute +[2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/First_Contact_SIG
