We need more automated + tests for more complicated scenarios, partly to prevent regressions for + fixed bugs, but also to detect some problems before they are reported + by users. + +* Better understanding of why some of the gate jobs are intermittently + failing, particularly the backup-related tests in the tempest-storage + suite. + +* Better review bandwidth. The core team we carried over from Ussuri to + Victoria is still active, but as their careers have progressed, they have + taken on more responsibilities in their day jobs, and their review counts + have declined a bit. We added Lucio as a new core during Victoria; it would + be good to add another person or two during the Wallaby cycle. Anyone + working on the cinder project who's interested in working to get themselves + into a position where they could be nominated as a cinder core, please + contact me (or any of the current cores) to discuss what the expectations + are. + +Those are what's been on my mind lately. As far as specific features, etc., +those will emerge from our PTG discussions, to which I encourage you to +contribute: + https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/wallaby-ptg-cinder-planning + +We've had productive virtual mid-cycle meetings for two cycles now, and the +cinder-weekly-meeting-once-a-month-in-videoconference seems to help keep the +team connected, so I'd like to continue that. The team adapted well to the +virtual PTG format for Victoria, so I'm confident we'll have a productive +virtual Wallaby PTG, though I sincerely hope we'll once again have the +opportunity to meet face-to-face for the 'X' PTG. + +As far as external interest in the Cinder project goes, we've added some new +drivers in Victoria and already have one new driver proposed for Wallaby, with +at least one more on the way, which is nice. + +Thanks for reading this far, and thank you for your consideration. + +Brian Rosmaita (rosmaita)
