I'm Renat Akhmerov. I'd like to announce my PTL candidacy for Mistral in

Victoria cycle.

In Ussuri, we kept improving Mistral performance to address use cases

that desperately needed it. For the most complex known workflows the

execution time has now dropped by 5-6 times. Besides lots of performance

changes we also achieved:

 * Restructured the documentation completely

 * Fixed a number of documentation pages and added several new ones.

   There's still a lot to do on that though.

 * Made a big refactoring of Mistral actions and moved all OpenStack

   actions into mistral-extra repo.

 * Added namespaces for actions and workbooks

 * Added a new cookiecutter-based template for creating Mistral action

   projects.

 * Fixed a number of important bugs (for "join" tasks, scheduler etc.).

 * And lots of other changes..

For V cycle I'd like to keep making Mistral more usable:

 * Consistent and well-structured documentation

 * More ways to create Mistral actions (including action providers)

 * Additional tools that simplify creating custom actions and functions

   for Mistral

 * Easier debugging of workflow errors

 * Easier and smoother installation process

We're already making a good progress with all that and anybody who wants to

participate is very welcome onboard.

The best way to get in touch with us is IRC channel #openstack-mistral

or the openstack-discuss mailing list (with [mistral] tag in email subject).
