Stackers, I would like to put my candidacy for a
position on the OpenStack Technical Committee. I have
been an active OpenStack contributor for over a year, my
work mostly concentrated around improving existing
OpenStack code
(unifying common parts of OpenStack projects and putting
them to oslo, improving performance and test coverage,
fixing bugs). In the previous cycles I have been
focusing on improving OpenStack Database code, improving
its performance, fixing a lot of nasty bugs,
making it more maintainable, durable and backward
compatible. I lead the community effort across all core
projects to centralize database </span></font></p>

spend a lot of time helping newcomers to OpenStack to
become better Open Source citizens. During Havana I
coordinated the activies of 16 of my team members across
several projects (nova, oslo, cinder and glance) which
helped Mirantis
to make a meaningful contribution to OpenStack: <a

Currently I am focusing on the goal of consistently
improving OpenStack performance at scale, arguably one
of the biggest challenges across all of OpenStack. I
believe that the problem with scale and performance
could be solved easily by the community. The main
problem is that contributors don’t have an easy way to
see how their commits affect performance at scale. This
is why two months ago (with the help of four of my
colleagues) I started work on project Rally (The
OpenStack Benchmark System). Rally allows everyone to
see, close to real life, the performance of the
OpenStack cloud at scale. This system will be closely
integrated with the existing OpenStack CI, making the
process of tuning OpenStack scalability and performance
simple and transparent for everybody.

I believe that at this point in time, the focus of the
community ought to shift to enabling our customers to
adopt OpenStack in real production use cases. This means
that such issues as performance, quality, reliability,
maintainability and scalability should get a higher
priority, and as a member of the OpenStack TC, I would
like to become a strong advocate for making OpenStack
production ready. Links: 1. Rally Wiki </span></font><span
