Hello everyone,
|
|
|
|
I'm announcing my candidacy for Cinder PTL for the Mitaka release.
|
|
|
|
The Cinder team has made great progress. We've not only grown the
|
|
number of supported backend drivers, but we've made significant
|
|
improvements to the core code and raised the quality of existing
|
|
and incoming code contributions. While there are still many things
|
|
that need more polish, we are headed in the right direction and
|
|
block storage is a strong, stable component to many OpenStack clouds.
|
|
|
|
Mike and John have provided the leadership to get the project where
|
|
it is today. I would like to keep that momentum going.
|
|
|
|
I've spent over a decade finding new and interesting ways to create
|
|
and delete volumes. I also work across many different product teams
|
|
and have had a lot of experience collaborating with groups to find
|
|
a balance between the work being done to best benefit all involved.
|
|
|
|
I think I can use this experience to foster collaboration both within
|
|
the Cinder team as well as between Cinder and other related projects
|
|
that interact with storage services.
|
|
|
|
Some topics I would like to see focused on for the Mitaka release
|
|
would be:
|
|
|
|
* Complete work of making the Cinder code Python3 compatible.
|
|
* Complete conversion to objects.
|
|
* Sort out object inheritance and appropriate use of ABC.
|
|
* Continued stabilization of third party CI.
|
|
* Make sure there is a good core feature set regardless of backend type.
|
|
* Reevaluate our deadlines to make sure core feature work gets enough
|
|
time and allows drivers to implement support.
|
|
|
|
While there are some things I think we need to do to move the project
|
|
forward, I am mostly open to the needs of the community as a whole
|
|
and making sure that what we are doing is benefiting OpenStack and
|
|
making it a simpler, easy to use, and ubiquitous platform for the
|
|
cloud.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration!
|
|
