<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">I would like to announce my candidacy for the PTL position of Magnum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">I involved in Magnum project starting from December 2014. At that time, Magnum's code base is much smaller than right now. Since then, I worked with a diverse set of team
members to land features, discuss the roadmap, fix the gate, do pre-release test, fix the documentation, etc.. Thanks to our team efforts, in the past a few months, I saw important features were landed one after another, which I really proud of.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">To address the question why I am a good candidate for Magnum, here are the key reasons:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* I contributed a lot to Magnum's code base and feature set.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* I am familiar with every aspects of the project, and understand both the big picture and technical details.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* I will have time and resources to take the PTL responsibility, mostly because I am a full time allocated to this project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* I love container.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* I care the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Here is more details of my involvement in the project:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">http://stackalytics.com/?module=magnum-group<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">In my opinion, Magnum needs to focus on the following in the next cycle:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* Production ready: Work on everything that are possible to make it happen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* Baremetal: Complete and optimize our Ironic integration to enable running containers on baremetal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* Container network: deliver a network solution that is high performance and customizable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* UI: Integrate with Horizon to give users a friendly interface to use Magnum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* Pluggable COE: A pluggable design is a key feature for users to customize Magnum, which is always the case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">* Grow community: Attract more contributors to contribute to Magnum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">If elected, I will strictly follow the principal of being a OpenStack project, especially the four opens. The direction of the project will be community-driven as always.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">I hope you will give me an opportunity to serve as Magnum's PTL in the next cycle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
