Hello, Zorillas and dear stackers,
I would like to submit my candidacy to be the PTL of Manila for the Z cycle.
I have been a contributor to OpenStack since the Stein release. It has been an awesome experience. During these years, I had the opportunity to contribute with new features, fixes, reviews and other exciting enhancements for Manila. I can tell you that I've faced thrilling challenges, and I learned a lot with the community that made this journey enjoyable day after day. I'm tremendously happy to see the state Manila is at. I'd like to keep the momentum for the project by continuing to focus in some areas we have been focusing, but also start tackling other issues:
- Continue increasing the number of contributors and active reviewers through mentoring and engaging them in the community, teaching the OpenStack way and making it collaboratively as we did in the past cycles, promoting hackatons, bug squashes and collaborative review sessions.
- Encouraging the involvement of Manila contributors in important programs/events such as GHC, Outreachy and the other opportunities we've been able to contribute in the past.
- Pursue the completion of the Manila implementation on the openstackclient/openstacksdk;
- Continue pushing Manila to cover the tech debt areas we identified over the past cycles;
- Enforcing maintainers to collaboratively cover the lack of documentation we have on third party CI setups for Manila, helping potential new vendors to quickly setup up their CI systems;
- Continue discussing with community and making the necessary enhancements for HA and Edge;
Thank you for your consideration!
