Re: Thank You!
Thanks Tom, it was a good week and glad you got something out of the time there. I know it's exciting for us in Engineering to directly chat with folks using and abusing our tools. It's exciting to see what you all do with what we've built and to help motivate us to keep at it so that we can take things to the next level. It's definitely got a bit of a "if you build it, and work really hard at it, they will come" feeling to it. Thanks to you and everyone in the wide community that came out for bringing all that excitement into our work.

A very big +1 Any official word on what this will mean for Juju? 2017-04-20 12:43 GMT+02:00 Tom Barber : > I'll probably get whipped for doing this as its been playing on my mind > and I feel it needs doing. > > Hopefully those who have left the company in the last few weeks haven't > completely left this list, I'd just like to send out a heartfelt thank you > on behalf of the community and juju users, to the people with whom I've > worked with over the past 18 months and to anyone I haven't, who have put > in blood sweat and tears at Canonical to create Juju it is a fantastic > platform and I hope wherever you all end up next our paths cross again > because you are all a great bunch of people. > > Cheers, > Tom > > -- > Juju mailing list > Juju@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ > mailman/listinfo/juju > > -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju

We're still focused on building a great platform for modeling and solving the software problems we see out there. Thanks for the <3, the teams appreciate it when folks find value in their hard work.

With good reason the team is unlikely to be comfortable answering your question, but I am happy to do so. Juju is essential to our success with large customers every day. It makes it possible for us to support complex OpenStack and Kubernetes deployments that are regularly extended and upgraded and updated, something that nobody else can in practice deliver. And those customers are increasingly wanting to use it for a broader array of software. So Juju has its place in our plan and I am very happy with the way the team is now organised, with team leads who really care about quality, performance, features and customers. I hope you've noticed a big step up in the quality and focus of Juju releases since 2.x and I would credit the teams and their leads with that. I asked every single team at Canonical, with a few specific exceptions for example LXD and the security team, to participate in the cut, on the basis that I wanted every manager to have to exercise this kind of judgment. It's tough, but it's also important for a company to be confident that it is constantly improving and assessing itself. In the case of Juju Core and JAAS, I had already driven some changes in this regard, and I felt the team was already substantially more focused and doing well, so there was a gentler approach, although it is always an emotional and difficult process even if it touches relatively few colleagues. We will miss those colleagues but I think you can count on steady and exciting progress in Juju and JAAS. In the teams who work on charms, we are concentrating more folks around the key pillars of OpenStack and Kubernetes, which are manifestations of the "os-at-scale" so we (Canonical) are the natural vendor. We are also asking the folks who lead charm-tech to use the K8s charms as their proving ground, to ensure those tools really work for complex charm development. We will also continue to anchor the Hadoop ecosystem but I am delighted with the growth in third-party interest in charms in that ecosystem and I am happily counting on you, Merlijn, and the other members of the Hadoop charm ecosystem, to drive forward the broader suite of charms there and elsewhere at the application level.
