Hello everyone, I would like to announce my candidacy for the role of PTL of Glance for the Ussuri cycle. I have been working closely with several previous PTL's like Erno and Brian and I am hoping to contribute back to the community as a PTL while following their excellent example. I've been working primarily with Glance since Icehouse and do work full-time on Glance upstream. During that time I've served community in release liaison role, as Glance core reviewer and part of Glance bugs team. I have represented Glance in interactions with various teams, such as the cross-projects interactions, API workgroup, documentation and OSIC. Even though I work in GMT+05:30 time zone, I am flexible enough to catchup with peoples who were in US or European time-zone. I have seen lots of highs and lows of the Glance and am proud that we have not only survived but also becoming strong. During the Train cycle we have managed to release glance-store version 1.0 which supports multiple stores configuration. This is how I want to focus for Ussuri cycle 1. Multiple stores support As glance-store v1.0 is out with multiple stores configuration support, I want to make sure Glance is able maintain it's backward compatibility and doesn't break any cross-project workflow. Most of the work is already done during Train cycle but in case if any bug occurs then it will be solved on the high priority. Multiple stores will also play role in Edge computing, so if any enhancement is required then it will be handled on top priority. 2. Glance cluster awareness With Interoperable Image Import and new edge usecases, Glance cluster awareness [0] is most important feature. Even the basic implementation has started during Train cycle, we want to use this in caching operations which will be carried out during this development cycle. 3. Bridging gap between Glance and Horizon Glance has now added new features such as new import workflow, import plugins, hidden images etc. Horizon is yet to implement these in the dashboards. I am going to put some efforts in communication with horizon team and help them to understand/implement/bridge this gap. 4. Catching up with tempest Similar to horizon, Glance needs to have tempest upto-date with new image import workflow, hidden images, multiples stores scenarios. I would like to catchup with tempest team and extend a hand to bridge this gap. 5. Community priorities Whatever community goals put forward by TC, as a PTL of Glance project will want to adopt these as a priority for Ussuri cycle. 6. Other As we are very short team at this moment, I would like to put some efforts in attracting some contributors, help them to understand how Glance functions and encourage them to contribute for Glance. Looking at past how Erno and Brian has steadied the ship, I know its a big task and with their help I will do my best not to fail the expectations. Thank you for consideration, Abhishek Kekane [0] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/664956/2/specs/train/approved/glance/cluster-...
