Hello everyone,
I would like to add Kiran Pawar to the OpenStack Manila core team.
Kiran has been contributing with reviews [1], new features, bug fixes [2] to the OpenStack Manila components for several cycles and has clearly acquired knowledge on many areas of Manila. He has designed and worked in the implementation of several features in the core of Manila, such as share backups, deferred deletion for shares and snapshots, and most recently has been working on shares encryption and integrating Manila with Barbican. He's clearly demonstrated understanding not only on the manila core, but also in the integrations with share drivers. The participation on PTGs and other events evolving Manila has also been strong, and very impactful.
Kiran also brings knowledge on large cloud environments, having worked closely on large deployments and finding solutions for their problems.
This addition also means more diversity among the Manila core group, and maintaining a healthy community with different companies sharing the responsibility of maintaining an open source project.
Kiran brings a lot of experience with cloud environments to the table and has been helpful on reviews and contributing with a lot of code to Manila, making him a good candidate to join the core team.
In case there are no objections, I will add him to the core team in 1 week from now.
+2 Thank you for your great work, Kiran! I think this is well deserved for you, and the project.
