<div dir="ltr"><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi All,                                                                      <br>                                                                             <br>I would like to nominate myself to take the role of Heat PTL for the         <br>Ocata cycle.                                                                 <br>                                                                             <br>I have been involved with the project since the last few years, first as a   <br>contributor and then a core reviewer and have had the opportunity to work    <br>with a great team and community. I strongly believe that with ever           <br>increasing adoption of Heat, we are well placed to live up to the            <br>expectations of the end users and OpenStack ecosystem at large, by           <br>continuously evolving, encouraging participation and consensus building.     <br>                                                                             <br>We achieved some significant milestones in the newton cycle by making        <br>convergence the default architecture and improving on some of the key        <br>non functional areas like stability and performance. I believe we have       <br>more work to do in these areas, when projects like TriplO start using        <br>Heat with convergence enabled.                                               <br>                                                                             <br>We have the fortune of having a number of experienced and previous PTLs      <br>in the team that makes the job of a  new PTL easier and I don't see          <br>the PTL anything more than a communication bridge and a team catalyst.       <br>                                                                             <br>I believe our focus in the Ocata cycle would include:                        <br>                                                                             <br>- Continuously improve the stability and performance                         <br>- Upgrades with zero downtime                                                <br>- Increase/improve the the test coverage without increasing the              <br>  CI time                                                                    <br>- Convergence Phase-II                                                       <br>- Validation improvements                                                    <br>                                                                             <br>And not to mention the run-of-the-mill activities:                           <br>                                                                             <br>- Ensuring that CI jobs are healthy (and we don't break other projects)      <br>- On time releases with efficient coordination and collaboration             <br><br>I'm sure we would be able to achieve the goals we set for ourselves and       <br>would be happy to work as the team catalyst.                                  <br>                                                                              <br>Thank you.                                                                    <br><br>Rabi Mishra                        <wbr>                              <wbr>               <br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">
