I am writing to submit my candidacy for re-election as the PTL for the
|
|
Trove project (Ocata cycle). I have been an active technical
|
|
contributor to the Trove project since just before the Icehouse
|
|
release when Trove was integrated into OpenStack. I have also
|
|
contributed code[1] and reviews[2] to some other OpenStack projects,
|
|
and have been an active participant in the Stewardship Working Group
|
|
[3] (SWG) and a not-so active participant in the Delimiter project.
|
|
|
|
Ocata is a short cycle, and based on some discussions within the
|
|
community, and feedback from users, I believe that we should continue
|
|
to build on the progress and improvements that we were able to acheive
|
|
in the Newton cycle, and focus on:
|
|
|
|
- paying down our technical debt, including specifically some long
|
|
standing items that were listed by the TC at the time when Trove was
|
|
integrated, and improving our testing, addressing some long standing
|
|
issues with dependencies between the server and the client, and
|
|
|
|
- making it easier to use Trove by delivering tools to simplify guest
|
|
image creation, and improving the commands and API for registering
|
|
datastores and images, and
|
|
|
|
- improving the Trove API documentation, and
|
|
|
|
- strengthen the community and foster new members and companies who
|
|
wish to contribute to Trove, and work closely with new participants
|
|
to improve their experiences using Trove, and
|
|
|
|
- adding support for clustering in some databases (potentially
|
|
Couchbase), refactoring the guestagent for PostgreSQL, supporting
|
|
cluster upgrades, anding add support for additional database
|
|
versions (like MySQL 5.7).
|
|
|
|
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the
|
|
development community who helped the Trove project during the Newton
|
|
cycle; those who contributed code and reviews to the project as well
|
|
as members of the infra, release, stable, oslo, docs, dib, and other
|
|
project teams who helped us on innumerable occasions.
|
|
|
|
Thank you, and I appreciate your support in the election.
