Hi Jay, Hi Openstack Community. First, let me say thank you for your service as a TC member and thank you for the questions. I am currently a Mirantis employee and I am lucky enough to be involved full time in upstream Openstack. Most of the time I try to make Openstack-Helm better and have been serving as the PTL of this project during the last three release cycles. For TC activities I think I can spend about 5 hours a week. I haven't been involved a lot in all these governance discussions recently and frankly I don't have any revolutionary vision. My understanding is that Openstack is currently in quite good shape from both technical and organizational perspectives (stable, well tested, clear release cycle, open, diverse and friendly community). IMO we all as a community should continue doing what we have been doing during the last 5 years. Although the cloud computing industry as a whole is evolving towards the hybrid model, Openstack is an essential part of the ecosystem and I see the significant interest in Openstack both from traditional and new users. As an example our #openstack-helm Slack channel is slowly growing and I am happy to see people helping each other with their deployments. I hope as a TC member I'll be able to bring valuable opinions to the governance discussions. On Thu, Aug 29, 2024 at 1:19 PM Jay Faulkner <jay@gr-oss.io> wrote:
Hello all,
First of all, I'm incredibly happy that the community has stepped up and provided us the opportunity to avoid any issues at all around company affiliations this cycle. Thank you to all the new folks who have run for the TC and helped with this.
My two questions are simple:
How much of your workweek is spent focused on upstream OpenStack? How much of that time will be available to use for TC-related activities?
Thanks, Jay Faulkner
