hi Jay,

Thank you for starting this thread, I think Ironic has already moved silently to a structure similar to DPL recently, so I'm ok with giving that a try.

As discussed on IRC I'm happy to keep my role as Release liaison.
I'm also up to help on other aspects as I did in the past, but I'll let others weigh in before proposing myself for more roles!

Ciao!
Riccardo

At today's Ironic meeting, many cores were around to discuss a potential
move to the DPL model. This allows the project to continue our practice
of distributed leadership without having to have a song and dance every
six months about who will bear the PTL title :).

https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/distributed-project-leadership.html#required-roles
documents required and optional roles for DPL model. These are listed
below for clarity:

(required)

- Release liason

- tact-sig liason (CI)

- Security liason

- TC liason

(optional)

- Events liason

- Project Update/Onboarding liason

- Meeting Facilitator

- Bug Deputy

- RFE Coordinator

I'd suggest that for Ironic purposes, we obviously need someone in each
of the required roles; but I'd strongly suggest we also assign an events
liason so we have a single point of responsibility for PTG signup and
planning.

Along these lines, if we'd like Ironic to go to DPL, I will volunteer to
be the Security liason.


One concern raised in the Ironic meeting is that the DPL is
traditionally associated with low-activity projects; Ironic is an
extremely active project with multiple senior developers working on it
-- our move to DPL is simply meant to model our actual working mode with
everyone pitching in as needed.


What do folks think? If you are in favor of a move to DPL, I'd suggest
volunteering for a liason role.

Thanks,
Jay Faulkner
