[openstack-dev] [puppet] PTL candidacy

2017-01-20 Thread Alex Schultz
Hey folks,

I would like to nominate myself for the PTL role in the Puppet Openstack Team
for the Pike release cycle.

I served as the PTL during the Ocata cycle and would like to continue to serve
for the Pike release cycle. As part of the Ocata cycle we have made some
excellent progress around ensuring a consistent experience when using the
modules. Additionally we have made continued progress around test coverage.

For the Pike cycle, I believe we have a few places to continue to focus.
- Ensuring the modules are updated for Pike changes.
- Continuing to focus on CI integration both upstream and downstream.
- Improving documentation around established patterns and best practices.
- Working on the feedback loop between the puppet modules and upstream services.
- Improving the deprecation cycle to ensure we are catching deprecations in the
  current cycle rather than after configurations have already been removed.

I look forward to working with all of you. As always, I'm open to any
suggestions or ideas for additional places to improve our processes and modules.

Thanks,
Alex Schultz

[openstack-dev] [puppet] PTL candidacy

2016-09-14 Thread Alex Schultz
I would like to nominate myself for the PTL role in the Puppet Openstack
Team
for the Ocata release cycle.



I have been involved in the puppet team since Liberty as both a contributor
and
 a downstream consumer.  It has been a pleasure working with the community
to
improve and make the Puppet Openstack projects one of the most mature ways
to
deploy OpenStack.



For the Ocata cycle, I believe we have a few places to continue to focus.

- Continuing the work that Emilien has promoted, we need to continue to
focus
  on CI integration both upstream and downstream.

- We need to ensure that the new modules in the project continue to mature
and
  are included in CI.

- Improving documentation around established patterns and best practices.

- Ensuring the modules are updated for Ocata changes.



I look forward to working with all of you. I'm open to any suggestions or
ideas
for additional places to improve our processes and modules.



Thanks,

Alex Schultz

Puppet OpenStack is a great example of project where collaboration works
between developers and operators. Expect me to continue being a liaison
between different groups so our community can successfully build
production-ready OpenStack Clouds deployed with our modules.
I'll continue to facilitate our team work, to coordinate cross-project 
tasks,

to mentor our contributors who want to learn more and also
the most important for me: keep being open.

I had the tremendous pleasure [1] to lead our team during the last

[openstack-dev] [puppet] PTL Candidacy

2015-09-11 Thread Emilien Macchi
( Also posted on https://review.openstack.org/222767 )

Moving Puppet OpenStack modules under the big tent was an amazing
opportunity for us to make sure our project remains Open [1].
Liberty was our first cycle where we were part of OpenStack and we can
be proud of what we achieved together [2].

We've built a community coming from two different worlds: developers and
operators. We need to keep that, because I think that's what is making
the difference today when you're deploying OpenStack: you need a short
loop feedback between both worlds.

Being OpenStack is not easy, and we have great challenges
in front of us.

* Documentation
I would like to put emphasis on having more documentation
so we can more easily welcome new contributors and hopefuly get more
adoption.
I truly believe more documentation will help our contributors
to get quickly involved and eventually give a chance to scale-up our team.
Our users deserve more guidance to understand best practices when using
our modules, that should also be part of this effort.

* Continuous Integration
We did a lot of work on CI, on both beaker & integration jobs. I would
like to continue integration work and test more OpenStack modules.
I would like to continue collaboration with Tempest team and keep using
it for testing. I'm also interested by multi-node and upgrade testing,
that would make stronger how we develop the modules.

* Release management
I would like to reach a better release velocity by trying to stay close
to OpenStack releases (especially from packaging).
As soon as major distributions release stable packaging, I think we
should provide a release.

* Community
I would like to continue the collaboration with other projects, mostly
OpenStack Infrastructure (for Continuous Integration work), TripleO,
Fuel, Kolla (container integration), Documentation, Tempest (for
puppet-openstack-integration work) and packagers (Ubuntu Cloud Archive
and RDO teams).
This collaboration is making OpenStack better and is the reason for our
success today. We need to continue that way by coordinating groups and
maintaining good communications.


I had the immense pleasure to lead our team during the last few months
and I would like to continue my role of PTL for the next cycle.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Emilien,

Though I've only been involved with the project for a short time, it is clear
that you are an extremely qualified PTL candidate. FWIW, a +1 from me.

Regards,

Richard

[openstack-dev] [puppet] PTL Candidacy

2015-03-31 Thread Emilien Macchi
Hi,

As we want to move under the big tent, we decided in the last Puppet
OpenStack meeting that we need a PTL for the next Cycle.
I would like to announce my candidacy.


Qualifications
--

I joined eNovance in 2012 and mainly worked in OpenStack deployments
before I started working on OpenStack automation in 2013 for internal
needs. Since the beginning, all my Puppet work has been upstream
(Puppetlabs or Stackforge) and I strongly believe our community modules
are the way to go for a production-ready OpenStack environment. My
general knowledge in OpenStack and my background in deployments allow me
to understand all components from high level so I can see how to deploy
them with Puppet.
Today, I'm leading Puppet OpenStack work at Red Hat and my team and I
are working and focusing on upstream modules. Our involvement in Puppet
OpenStack is because we are developing an open-source product which
deploys OpenStack by using our modules, so each feature we need, is in
Stackforge modules that can be leverage by the rest of the community.
I'm also highly involved in Puppet integration for TripleO which is a
great new opportunity to test different use-cases of deployments.


Work in Puppet OpenStack


* For more than one year, I've been a top contributor to the Puppet
OpenStack modules:
http://stackalytics.com/report/contribution/puppet-group/365
* I started puppet-ironic, puppet-heat, puppet-ceilometer (with Francois
Charlier), puppet-tuskar, puppet-trove (with Sebastien Badia),
puppet-gnocchi, puppet-tripleo modules.
* I participate at meetings, help people on the mailing-list, contribute
to discussions about our community, and regularly am a speaker at
meetups and summits.


Plans for Liberty
-

* CI
I would like to continue the work done by nibalizer to have acceptance
tests in our modules. I'm very interested in using TripleO jobs to gate
our modules, I think it's a good use case, and everything is already in
place.

* Reviews
Some patches would require some specific reviews, from OpenStack
developers and operators. We'll find a way to document or automate the
way we review these patches.
I truly think our modules work because of the invaluable feedback we
from both operators and also from OpenStack developers.

* Release management
As we move under the big tent, I would like to start following OpenStack
release processes and emphasize bug triage.
We will do our best to keep our launchpad updated so we can improve the
way to we work together as a community.

* Community
I would like to ensure we organize regular meetings (IRC/video) with our
community to provide support and to make bug triage as a team. We also
will take care of welcoming newcomers and try to help them if they want
to contribute.

* My expectation of core-team
As members of the core team, or those wanting to be, it's my hope that
we: participate at our meetings, make good reviews, discuss on the
mailing list regarding important topics, and help in fixing bugs.

* Big tent
This is a first for all of us, and I'll do my best to have Puppet
OpenStack project involved in OpenStack's Big Tent. I accept this
challenge and I strongly believe that, as a team, we can make it
and succeed *without breaking our way to work together*.

* Code
Regarding our modules, we will continue our daily work on
bugs/features/tests patches, but we should also continue the work on
openstacklib to ensure everything is consistent across our modules.

* Meetups/Summit
As usual, we will ensure to have design sessions and an area where we
can discuss together about Puppet OpenStack. I'll do my best to acquire
all the resources we would need to effectively plan the upcoming cycle.


Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
