Hi All,
|
||
|
||
I’d like to announce my candidacy for OpenStack Technical Committee position.
|
||
|
||
I am glad to work in OpenStack community and would like to thank all the
|
||
contributors/leaders who supported me to explore new things which brings
|
||
out my best for the community.
|
||
|
||
Let me introduce myself, briefly. I have joined the OpenStack community
|
||
since 2012 as operator and started as full time upstream contributor since
|
||
2014 during mid of Ice-House release. Currently, I am PTL for the QA Program
|
||
since the Rocky cycle and active contributor in QA projects and Nova. Also I
|
||
have been randomly contributing in many other projects specially on Tempest
|
||
plugins for bug fix and tempest compatibility changes.
|
||
|
||
Along with that, I am actively involved in programs helping new contributors
|
||
in OpenStack. 1. As mentor in the Upstream Institute Training since Barcelona
|
||
Summit (Oct 2016)[1] 2. FirstContact SIG [2] to help new contributors to onboard
|
||
in OpenStack. It's always a great experience to introduce OpenStack upstream
|
||
workflow to new contributors and encourage them to start contribution. I feel
|
||
that is very much needed in OpenStack because of current movement of experience
|
||
contributors.
|
||
|
||
TC direction has always been valuable and result oriented in technical debt or
|
||
efforts towards Diversity of community. This kind of work/position never been easy
|
||
task specially in such a big community like OpenStack. By observing the TC work
|
||
from past couple of years, I am very much motivated to help in this direction in
|
||
order to contribute more towards cross projects and collaboration among projects
|
||
or people.
|
||
|
||
Below are the key areas I would like to Focus as TC:
|
||
|
||
* Share Project teams work for Common Goals: Every cycle we have TC goals and some
|
||
future direction where all the projects needs to start working. Projects try to do
|
||
their best in that but big challenge for them is resource bandwidth. In Current
|
||
situation, It is very hard for projects teams to accommodate those work by themselves.
|
||
Project team are shrinking and key members are overloaded. My Idea is to form a
|
||
temporary team of contributors under Goal champion and finish those common area work
|
||
during starting of cycle (so that we can make sure to finish the work well on time and
|
||
test throughout the cycle). That temporary team can be formed with volunteers from any
|
||
project team or new part time contributors with help of OUI or FirstContact SIG etc.
|
||
|
||
* Cross-project and cross-community testing: I would like to work more on collaboration
|
||
of testing effort across projects and community. We have plugins approach for testing
|
||
in OpenStack and I agree that which is not perfect at this stage. I would like to work
|
||
on more collaboration and guidelines to improve that area. From QA team point of view,
|
||
I would like QA team to do more collaborative work for all the projects for their proper
|
||
testing. And further, extend the testing collaboration among adjacent communities.
|
||
|
||
* Encourage new leaders: new contributors and so new leaders are much required in
|
||
community. Some internal or external leadership program etc can be very helpful.
|
||
|
||
Regardless of the results of this election I will work hard towards above directions
|
||
and help community at my best.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your reading and consideration.
