Fellow Stackers,
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical Committee
|
|
election.
|
|
|
|
Currently i am employed by Mirantis and take manage a couple teams, one working
|
|
primarily on Oslo/RabbitMQ/ZMQ and the other on Keystone. My other job is
|
|
contributing upstream where i can including several Oslo projects, Nova,
|
|
Requirements and Release team. I have served as PTL for Oslo for the last
|
|
two terms and am proud of our accomplishments including getting rid of the
|
|
oslo-incubator, building up our test matrix for better backwards compatibility
|
|
testing and increasing the number of people invested in different Oslo projects.
|
|
|
|
We have a lot of challenges including figuring out how to balance
|
|
stability/innovation, fostering new talent, target our limited resources
|
|
to make OpenStack even better than it is today. I would like to offer some
|
|
ideas as part of the technical committee based on my previous experiences
|
|
at ASF, a startup from scratch, working at Big Blue etc.
|
|
|
|
While working on Oslo as PTL, gave me a lot of insight into how different
|
|
projects go about their work. Being part of the Requirements and Release
|
|
team has helped me understand the day-to-day challenges of how we pull in
|
|
different directions but still end up moving forward. Spending time looking
|
|
at gate issues and setting up CI jobs has given me a lot of appreciation
|
|
around how many things there are we could work on and fix. As part of
|
|
the technical committee, i am hoping to help with:
|
|
|
|
- Cross Project issues, increasing collaboration between projects
|
|
- Backwards compatibility issues and testing
|
|
- Evangelizing great ideas from different projects
|
|
|
|
Starting with @markmc, @sdague, @dhellmann and a whole of of others i have
|
|
received a lot of support and guidance over the years. I would like to
|
|
pay it forward for the new set of folks who are coming, learning
|
|
our ways and becoming part of our community.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
Davanum Srinivas (aka Dims)
