Hello friends, We are now going into our first official PTL election for Searchlight and I would be honored if you’ll allow me to continue serving in the PTL role.
Searchlight became a new project in Liberty after being split out from its initial experimental days in Glance. Since then we’ve been we’ve been moving at a relatively fast pace towards fulfilling our mission: To provide advanced and scalable indexing and search across multi-tenant cloud resources. It would be a huge understatement to say that accomplishing this mission is important to me. I believe that search is critical to enabling a better experience for OpenStack users and operators alike. In Liberty, we have made tremendous progress thanks to a small, but passionate team who believes in the vision of Searchlight. At the Mitaka summit we’ll be able to demonstrate a Horizon panel plugin able to search across Glance, Nova, and Designate. I believe that the PTL role is a commitment to the community to act as a steward for the project. As PTL for an early stage project like searchlight, I believe that some of these responsibilities are to: * Evangelize the project across the OpenStack ecosystem * Provide technical guidance and contribution * Facilitate collaboration across the community * Enable all developers to contribute effectively * Grow a community of potential future project PTLs * And perhaps most importantly, enable the project to release I believe software must be developed with a clear demonstration of its value. With Searchlight, I do believe that a UI is one of the most effective ways to bring the value of Searchlight to OpenStack users. This is why from day 1, I have been actively evangelizing Searchlight with Horizon. Once users are able to actually take advantage of Searchlight, I believe Searchlight will become a must have component of any OpenStack deployment. From a feature standpoint, I believe all of the following are great candidate goals for us to pursue in Mitaka and I look forward to working with the community as establish priorities. * (Obviously) Extend search indexing to as many projects as possible ** With a priority on the original integrated release projects * Provide reference deployment architectures and deployment tooling as needed * Establish performance testing * Work towards cross-region search support * Enable pre-defined quick queries for the most common searches * Release the horizon search panel either in Horizon master or on its own * Enable horizon top nav search to become a reality [0] Thank you for your consideration in allowing me to continue serving as PTL for the Mitaka cycle.
