<p class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-p1"><span class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-s1">I’m announcing my candidacy for PTL of Horizon for the Pike release cycle.</span></p>
<p class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-p1"><span class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-s1">Over the next 6 months I’d like to:</span></p>
<p class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-p1"><span class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-s1">- Narrow the blueprint/feature scope to ensure we focus on high priority areas, like non-performant panels or buggy user experiences. In previous cycles, our attitude has been
to opportunistically accept features as they were developed; however, given the rapid decline in review count I don’t believe this is maintainable going forward. I’d like to follow a similar structure to Neutron, with a smaller feature count that is well understood
by core reviewers and other time being spent on addressing bugs. We’ll do this by accepting only a handful of blueprints at a time, and designating a core reviewer to monitor each blueprints progress.</span></p>
<p class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-p2">- Continue working with Keystone via cross-project meetings to fix key bugs in Identity management. Over the past couple of cycles we’ve closed some long standing Keystone interaction bugs in Horizon, and I’d like to
continue this effort. There are several patches still to work on in Horizon and Django OpenStack Auth, and we should make sure we capitalise on the excellent help from the Keystone community to improve the Horizon Identity panels.<br>

<p class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-p1"><span class="m_3146274360968178163gmail-s1">- Keep up community interaction. Richard has maintained a list of priority patches through Ocata, as well as sending out weekly meeting reminders and progress updates. I’ll
continue this work, and hold bug days to highlight key issues to invest our time in.</span></p>
