Hi I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the OpenStack Charms project (see [0]).
I'm the incumbent and first PTL of this project, which joined the OpenStack project this year; Right now we have around 30 charms for deploying various parts of OpenStack, with an active core team 100% populated by Canonical. We're slowly incubating contribution from outside of this team - this cycle I want to focus on changing that; specifically I think we have shortcomings in engaging new developers, as getting into OpenStack charm development can be high cost - the route to testing your charm change prior to submission currently presents various options, and I want to focus on ensuring that anyone with a reasonably specified machine can get started deploying OpenStack and hacking on the OpenStack charms, enabling both end-users and developers to have a better start in using and understanding the OpenStack Charms. I will continue to drive cross charm initiatives; specifically I think Python 3 support is a key objective during the Ocata cycle, and we should aim to have that in place as early in cycle as possible. I also look forward to working collaboratively with other deployment projects within the OpenStack project. I look forward to helping steer the project during the Ocata cycle, and helping to incubate the developer and user community around the OpenStack Charms!
