It's time for the Community App Catalog to go through an
|
|
official election cycle, and I'm putting my name in for PTL.
|
|
I've been filling that role provisionally since before the
|
|
App Catalog was launched at the Vancouver summit, and I
|
|
would like to continue service as PTL officially. Now that
|
|
we've joined the Big Tent[1], having a committed leader is
|
|
more important than ever :) .
|
|
|
|
I believe the App Catalog has tremendous potential for
|
|
helping the end-users of OpenStack clouds find and share
|
|
things they can deploy on those clouds. To that end, I've
|
|
been working with folks on extending the types of assets
|
|
that can live in the catalog and also trying to make finding
|
|
and consuming those assets easier.
|
|
|
|
Since we announced the Community App Catalog I've done
|
|
everything I could to deliver on the "community" part. With
|
|
the help of the OpenStack Infra team, we moved the site to
|
|
OpenStack infrastructure as quickly as possible. All
|
|
planning and coordination efforts have happened on IRC
|
|
(#openstack-app-catalog), the dev and operators mailing
|
|
list, and during the weekly IRC meetings[2]. I've also been
|
|
working to get more people engaged and involved with the
|
|
Community App Catalog project while attempting to raise the
|
|
profile and exposure whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
Speaking of community, I know being part of the OpenStack
|
|
community at a broad level is one of the most important
|
|
things for a PTL. On that front I'm active and always
|
|
available on IRC (docaedo), and do my best to stay on top of
|
|
all the traffic on the dev mailing list. I also work with
|
|
Richard Raseley to organize the OpenStack meetup in Portland
|
|
in order to reach, educate (and entertain) people who want
|
|
to learn more about OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
The next big thing we will do for the Community App Catalog
|
|
is to build out the backend so it becomes a more engaging
|
|
experience for the users, as well as makes it easier for
|
|
other projects to contribute and consume the assets. In
|
|
addition to the Horizon plugin[3][4] (check it out with
|
|
devstack, it's pretty cool!) we are thinking through the API
|
|
side of this and will eventually contribute the code to
|
|
search, fetch and push from the OpenStack Client.
|
|
|
|
All of this is to say that I'm eager and proud to serve as
|
|
the Community App Catalog PTL for the next six months if
|
|
you'll have me!
