My Peers, Liberty for Kolla was fantastically successful! We held our first in person mid-cycle and entered the Big Tent governance process. We successfully released 3 milestone releases within 3 days of deadline with increasing functionality. I believe our Kolla release of rc1 on September 25th will deliver on the promises I made in my PTL candidacy which was to deliver a container deployment system that could deploy 100 node OpenStack cluster with controller, compute, storage and networking roles. I wouldn’t have been able to do it alone, or even with the small team we had heading into Liberty. A big thank you goes out to our community for your strong commitment to our success!
A leader’s job is to take the community on the trip they want to go on. I’ve done a good job of balancing the various interests in Kolla to lead us to where I think people wanted us to be at the end of the cycle. I think we are a bit ahead on all measures except functional testing. For Liberty I wish to directly contribute to or facilitate the following actions: * Continue to encourage diversity in our Community. * Obtain real-world production deployments using Kolla. * Grow out community of developers, reviewers, and operators. * Execute functional testing of Kolla deployment by using a baby-steps strategy, first executing AIO, then two nodes, growing to ~5 node multi-node deployments. * Containerize and deliver all Big Tent server projects with our Ansible deployment tooling. * Radically improve our documentation to match the standards set by mature OpenStack Big Tent projects. * Make the image building and functional gating voting(!) by delivering mirrors of our upstream software dependencies internally in OpenStack Infrastructure. * Continue to provide excellent project management and improve our processes so that we may grow to use the release_managed[2] tag in the N release. I am pleased to accept your vote and serve as your PTL for the Mitaka release cycle. As a Community I am certain we can make Mitaka as successful as Liberty!
