                Hi-<br>
                <br>
                I writing to announce my candidacy for the OpenStack
                Networking (Neutron) PTL.<br>
                <br>
                I am the current Neutron PTL.  Our team continued to
                grow during the Havana cycle and both existing and new
                contributors worked to deliver double the number of
                blueprints than the previous release.  Our vibrant
                ecosystem makes me excited for the future of Neutron and
                I would love to continue as the PTL.<br>
                <br>
                Qualifications<br>
                -------------------<br>
                <br>
                I am a Neutron 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 used
                throughout Neutron.  I started contributing to Neutron
                project during the Essex development cycle.  In Folsom,
                I was promoted to core and was the primary developer of
                the DHCP implementation and Neutron's network namespace
                library.  During Grizzly, I worked on the metadata
                service, database migrations, and LBaaS reference
                implementation.<br>
                <br>
                Havana Accomplishments<br>
                ------------------------------------<br>
                <br>
                During the Havana cycle, I worked as a developer, core
                team member, and a technical lead.<br>
                <br>
                - Planned and implemented the Quantum to Neutron name
                change.<br>
                - Most active reviewer on the Neutron team (<a
                  moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://russellbryant.net/openstack-stats/neutron-reviewers-180.txt"
                  target="_blank">http://russellbryant.net/openstack-stats/neutron-reviewers-180.txt</a>)<br>
                - Organized the Networking track at the Havana Design
                Summit.<br>
                - Led bug triaging and sub-team assignment.<br>
                - Interfaced with vendors new to Neutron and helped in
                the integration of their plugins.<br>
                - Assisted members of the community to further their
                understanding of Neutron and improve Python development
                best practices.<br>
                - Promoted Neutron by delivering presentations at
                conferences and regional meet ups worldwide.<br>
                <br>
                <br>
                Icehouse<br>
                -------------<br>
                <br>
                During the Icehouse 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>
                - Build upon the services added in Havana to extend and
                improve load balancing, firewalling, and VPN.<br>
                - Integrating plugins from vendors new to the community
                including FWaaS, LBaaS, ML2, VPNaaS plugins/drivers.<br>
                - More efficient Neutron system testing and gating
                including full Tempest testing.<br>
                - Further work to ease deploying at scale.<br>
                - Refactoring the API layer to leverage a common WSGI
                framework as other OpenStack projects.<br>
                - Improving database resource modeling and extension
                management.<br>
                - Unified network service management framework.<br>
                - Continued support of the Horizon team to assist with
                Neutron integration.<br>
                - Defined migration path from nova-network to Quantum.<br>
                <br>
                I'd love the opportunity to continue as the PTL and work
                with the Neutron team to fill in the gaps during the
                design summit in Hong Kong.<br>
                <br>
                Thanks,<br>
                mark<br>
                <br>
