I would like to announce my candidacy for the Infrastructure PTL. I have developed and operated the project infrastructure for several years and have been honored to serve as the PTL for the Juno cycle.
I was instrumental not only in creating the project gating system and development process, but also in scaling it from three projects to 400. During the Juno cycle, we have just started on a real effort to make the project infrastructure consumable in its own right. There is a lot of interest from downstream consumers of our tools but our infrastructure is not set up for that kind of re-use. We're slowly changing that so that people who run infrastructure systems similar to ours can contribute back upstream just like any other OpenStack project. I am anticipating a number of changes to the OpenStack project that are related: the further acceptance of a "Big Tent", and changes to the gating structure to accommodate it. I believe that changes to our testing methodology, including a smaller integrated gate and more functional testing which we outlined at the QA/Infra sprint fit right into that. These are multi-release efforts, and I am looking forward to continuing them in Kilo. All of these efforts mean a lot of new people working on a lot of new areas of the Infrastructure program in parallel. A big part of the work in the next cycle will be helping to coordinate those efforts and make the Infrastructure program a little less monolithic to support all of this work. I am thrilled to be a part of one of the most open free software project infrastructures, and I would very much like to continue to serve as its PTL.
