I'd be honored to continue to serve as your PTL for OpenStack Swift.
|
|
|
|
Like many other OpenStack projects, Swift's contributor base has grown
|
|
smaller and become more employer-concentrated. This change brings new
|
|
challenges about how to coordinate work, hold to open principles, and
|
|
attract new contributors. Additionally, the OpenStack Foundation is
|
|
changing focus to include things not in OpenStack itself. Both of
|
|
these changes raise questions about Swift's future. As PTL, I will
|
|
continue to work with people inside and outside of our community to
|
|
figure out how we can be successful together.
|
|
|
|
As to internal technical direction, our long-term plans are relatively
|
|
unchanged. We need to improve efficiency in large storage servers. We
|
|
need to improve internal protocols so that client requests can be
|
|
balanced with internal requests. We need to improve the way objects
|
|
are stored to reduce overhead and improve performance. Each of these
|
|
technical challenges need to happen with continued feedback from
|
|
operators and end users. As PTL, I will continue to work within the
|
|
Swift community to coordinate this work and ensure it gets done.
