I would like the opportunity to serve the +community as PTL in the Mitaka cycle with the following aims: + +1. Grow the community + I would like to increase our community participation through the engagement + with other OpenStack Projects and the Operator community. I believe that + it's crucial to the success of the project to increase the diversity of + contributors and I'd like this to be a focus for the cycle. + +2. Improve modularity + The project has built Ansible roles which are re-usable outside of the + defined use-cases which we do integration testing with. This, however, is + not obvious to anyone unless they spend a fair amount of time investigating + the playbooks and roles. I would like to reduce this barrier to entry by + moving towards a 'Big Tent' concept for our roles, with each role being + in its own repository, tested independently and fully re-usable in + a design of the deployers choosing. + +3. Improve platform support enablement + Fairly common feedback from deployers has been that they like the project, + but would prefer to deploy on an alternative Operating System. While the + door has always been open for a contributor to put a patch up for review, + it is important that we acknowledge that this is not as simple a task as it + could be. I would like us to put some energy into lowering the barrier to + entry for this task to make it simpler to achieve. + +4. Improve usability + Through improvements to our playbooks, roles and documentation, I believe + that OpenStack-Ansible can be made simpler and easier to develop for, to + deploy and to operate. + +I look forward to working with you all for the next cycle and hope that we can +meet our lofty goals! + +Jesse +IRC: odyssey4me
