Hi-<br>
<br>
I'm writing to announce my candidacy for the Quantum PTL. The Quantum team has done a great job during the Grizzly cycle and I'm excited about what's ahead for the Havana cycle. My work at DreamHost provides me a unique perspective of deploying Quantum at scale using both IPv4 and IPv6. Working for a deployer also reinforces my desire for a vibrant, multi-vendor ecosystem within Quantum.<br>
<br>
Qualifications<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
I am a Quantum core developer with 13 years of commercial Python development experience. During my career, I have developed and deployed network applications based on the same underlying libraries as Quantum. I started contributing to Quantum during the Essex development cycle. In Folsom, I was promoted to core and was the primary developer of the DHCP implementation and Quantum's network namespace library.<br>
<br>
Grizzly Accomplishments<br>
----------------------------------<br>
<br>
In the Grizzly cycle, I worked both as a developer and a core team member.<br>
<br>
Grizzly Development:<br>
- Added Metadata Service Support to Quantum. (Quantum High Priority)<br>
- Developed database migration framework for Quantum to support all plugins. (Quantum Essential Priority)<br>
- Developed the LBaaS Agent Reference Implementation. (Quantum High Priority)<br>
- Added support for preserving NIC ordering when booting an instance attached to Quantum. (Nova High Priority Bug)<br>
<br>
Grizzly Core Team:<br>
- Second most active reviewer on the Quantum team.<br>
- Leader of the L3/IPAM/DHCP and Database sub teams.<br>
- Led triaging and sub-team assignment of bugs.<br>
- Assisted members of the community to further their understanding of Quantum and improve Python development best practices.<br>
- Interfaced with vendors new to Quantum and helped in the integration of their plugins.<br>
(core reviewer on 4 of the new vendor plugins included with Grizzly)<br>
- Worked to promote Quantum by presenting at regional OpenStack Meetups in both Atlanta and Los Angeles.<br>
<br>
<br>
Havana<br>
-----------<br>
<br>
During the Havana development cycle, I'd like to see the team focus on:<br>
<br>
- Continuing to grow the community of contributors and code reviewers.<br>
- Improving documentation for both deployers and developers.<br>
- Improving database resource modeling and extension management.<br>
- Collaborating with the Nova team to make Quantum the default network implementation.<br>
- Leveraging the service insertion framework to add new services (i.e. VPN).<br>
- Modularization of L2 and L3.<br>
- L3 improvements (ACLs, better IPv6, pluggable IPAM).<br>
- Integrating plugins from vendors new to the community including LBaaS plugins/drivers.<br>
- Further work to ease deploying at scale.<br>
- More efficient Quantum system testing and gating.<br>
- Supporting the Horizon team for better Quantum integration.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I have question: seem miss the feature Quantum Multi-host DHCP and L3 <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-multihost">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-multihost</a><br>
<br>lack of the feature, seem impossible instead of the nova network.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
I'd love the chance to be the PTL and work with the Quantum team to fill in gaps in this list during the summit in Portland.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
