Dear Ganeti Community, Over the last 3 years it was a pleasure for the Munich team to develop and maintain Ganeti, organize GanetiCon, and interact with all of you both digitally and in person. We believe our work was made much better by your presence and help.
We’d like to say thank you for your contributions in the form of patches, bug reports, list replies, helping each other out and for participating to our last 3 GanetiCons providing insight on your usage of the product and great technical discussions and design sessions. For internal reasons to Google we’re handing over the maintenance and development of Ganeti to the Ganeti SRE team, who already run the deployment of Ganeti at Google, and who we are working with these days to make sure they have a clean hand-off and a fast start as new maintainers. We’d like to say goodbye, and congratulate the new team members, tech lead, and developers. We hope you’ll have a great continuation, and of course to keep chatting with you on the project venues and elsewhere in the open source world. What are the changes to be expected? The new maintainers will mostly focus on incremental improvements and less on bigger architectural changes. This will mean a more stable product, but also fewer “large scale” improvements. As the new team is busier and still ramping up response time for patch series and list questions might be slower at least at the beginning. They are of course still committed to the open development workflow and to accept contributions. Plans for community gatherings and external infrastructure will only be clear later this year. Please stay tuned for more information. Thanks! Guido Trotter, on behalf of Ganeti-Eng-Munich and with the support of the new team. -- Guido Trotter Ganeti Engineering Google Germany GmbH Dienerstr. 12, 80331, München Registergericht und -nummer: Hamburg, HRB 86891 Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hamburg Geschäftsführer: Matthew Scott Sucherman, Paul Terence Manicle Steuernummer: 48/725/00206 Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE813741370
