Open Stack

( Also posted on https://review.openstack.org/222767 )

Moving Puppet OpenStack modules under the big tent was an amazing
opportunity for us to make sure our project remains Open [1].
Liberty was our first cycle where we were part of OpenStack and we can
be proud of what we achieved together [2].

We've built a community coming from two different worlds: developers and
operators. We need to keep that, because I think that's what is making
the difference today when you're deploying OpenStack: you need a short
loop feedback between both worlds.

Being OpenStack is not easy, and we have great challenges
in front of us.

* Documentation
I would like to put emphasis on having more documentation
so we can more easily welcome new contributors and hopefuly get more
adoption.
I truly believe more documentation will help our contributors
to get quickly involved and eventually give a chance to scale-up our team.
Our users deserve more guidance to understand best practices when using
our modules, that should also be part of this effort.

* Continuous Integration
We did a lot of work on CI, on both beaker & integration jobs. I would
like to continue integration work and test more OpenStack modules.
I would like to continue collaboration with Tempest team and keep using
it for testing. I'm also interested by multi-node and upgrade testing,
that would make stronger how we develop the modules.

* Release management
I would like to reach a better release velocity by trying to stay close
to OpenStack releases (especially from packaging).
As soon as major distributions release stable packaging, I think we
should provide a release.

* Community
I would like to continue the collaboration with other projects, mostly
OpenStack Infrastructure (for Continuous Integration work), TripleO,
Fuel, Kolla (container integration), Documentation, Tempest (for
puppet-openstack-integration work) and packagers (Ubuntu Cloud Archive
and RDO teams).
This collaboration is making OpenStack better and is the reason for our
success today. We need to continue that way by coordinating groups and
maintaining good communications.


I had the immense pleasure to lead our team during the last few months
and I would like to continue my role of PTL for the next cycle.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
