Greetings Zorillas & other Stackers,
|
|
|
|
This is my candidacy to be the PTL for the OpenStack Manila team through the
|
|
Xena cycle. I've had the great privilege of leading this unique team for
|
|
the past three releases. During this time, we've had an enviable momentum and
|
|
some fantastic achievements while building impactful software. I have
|
|
enjoyed being a catalyst and an advocate for this motivated team, and I wish to
|
|
do this a bit longer.
|
|
|
|
In Wallaby, we harnessed our diverse strengths to mentor five new contributors
|
|
through our student project internships, two of who were sponsored through
|
|
Outreachy funding. They have all expressed their desire to become long term
|
|
contributors. I am very proud of the manila team for their sincerity and
|
|
enthusiasm in aiding new Stackers. I seek to further this outreach through the
|
|
Xena release cycle.
|
|
|
|
Testing and project quality will remain a top priority. The team was able to
|
|
get new interop guidelines published last cycle, and we will focus on adding
|
|
more test coverage under these guidelines, alongside addressing test gaps and
|
|
innovating on more test scenarios.
|
|
|
|
We have continued to implement the pro-active backport policy to get bugfixes
|
|
back to stable branches and request timely releases of these stable branches.
|
|
In the Xena cycle, I intend to codify this policy based on our learning and
|
|
spread the release responsibility and know-how around the team.
|
|
|
|
We split project maintenance into sub-teams during the Wallaby cycle, and
|
|
recruited sub-team core reviewers. An increase in focus and velocity ensued
|
|
across project code repositories. I intend to propose more additions to these
|
|
sub-teams in the Xena cycle and encourage more contributors to take on
|
|
project maintenance responsibilities.
|
|
|
|
So, if you will have me, I wish to serve you through Xena and get things done.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your support,
|
|
|
