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 Kilo cycle.
I was instrumental not only in creating the project gating system and development process, but also in scaling it from three projects to 600. In Juno, we have begun a real effort to make the project infrastructure consumable in its own right. We've made a lot of progress and we're seeing more people joining this effort as we get closer to the goal of re-usability. It's starting to pay off, but we still have a lot to do. We're also looking at getting into the business of operating an OpenStack cloud. This is potentially a very exciting new venture, with a heavily used production cloud available for anyone in OpenStack to see and alter its operation. We're only just starting this project and hope to settle on some parameters as soon as we finish up our current priorities. I have also proposed some major changes to the key infrastructure projects Zuul and Nodepool. In both cases, the intent is to help us continue to scale out the system to handle more projects easier, and to make the overall system more comprehensible. Those are just three of several important efforts I anticipate this cycle and they span the spectrum from software development to operations. Once again, a large part of the work of the PTL this cycle will be helping to coordinate and facilitate these efforts. 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.
