Hello. I am hereby announcing my candidacy for Searchlight PTL for Train.
|
|
|
|
I have been involved in OpenStack since the Queens cycle as it is needed for
|
|
my research. Over the last three cycles, I learned a lot in both technical and
|
|
organizational aspects. That is thank to the help of many community members,
|
|
TCs, PTLs of the OpenStack projects that I am working on. That inspired me to
|
|
take the role of Searchlight PTL to help survive the project. I could say I
|
|
can commit my time for that responsibility with my current job.
|
|
|
|
As many of you may know, at the end of the Rocky cycle, the TC intended to
|
|
remove Searchlight from the Governance (OpenStack official projects). The
|
|
reasons for that are because Searchlight has missed several milestones and
|
|
lacked communication of the PTL. I couldn't stand the fact that a pretty cool
|
|
project like Searchlight would be abandoned so I volunteered to be the PTL of
|
|
Searchlight for the Stein cycle. I hoped that I could do something to revive
|
|
it. With the help of some contributors, we finally could find a "light"
|
|
for the project.
|
|
|
|
In the first two milestones of Stein, Searchlight has identified itself as a
|
|
useful tool in several use cases such as being a cloud resource lookup, a
|
|
cloud resource repository, and a multi-cloud search solution [1]. We hope
|
|
those use cases will attract more contributors and vendors to support and use
|
|
Searchlight in the near future. Moreover, the team has developed a grand
|
|
vision for Searchlight [2] to help sustain the project in alignment with the
|
|
OpenStack Cloud Vision [3]. The very first thing to make that vision come
|
|
true is building a strong foundation for Searchlight. I take that
|
|
responsibility personally and passionately.
|
|
|
|
Like many other OpenStack projects, there are always challenges in contributor
|
|
participation. For that, I especially see the new contributor engagement is an
|
|
important job of the PTL and always looking for opportunities to do that
|
|
(e.g., conferences, meetup, training, etc.). That will not be changed whether
|
|
you'll have me as the Searchlight PTL for Train or not. I will continue working
|
|
on helping potential developers to come to Searchlight and build a strong
|
|
community around it.
|
|
|
|
I know that I knew nothing about Searchlight before Stein. I'm not trying to
|
|
change things with big ideas here. I just want to help Searchlight succeed
|
|
in Train and further if I can.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration.
|
