​PTL nomination emails are good, but I have a few questions that I'd like
to ask to help me in making my vote.  Some of these are covered in the
general proposal announcements, but I'd love to hear some more detail.

It would be awesome if the Cinder candidates could spend some time and
answer these to help me (and maybe others) make an informed choice:

1. Do you actually have the time to spend to be PTL

I don't think many people realize the time commitment. Between being on top
of reviews and having a pretty consistent view of what's going on and in
process; to meetings, questions on IRC, program management type stuff etc.
Do you feel you'll have the ability for PTL to be your FULL Time job?
Don't forget you're working with folks in a community that spans multiple
time zones.

2. What are your plans to make the Cinder project as a core component
better (no... really, what specifically and how does it make Cinder better)?

Most candidates are representing a storage vendor naturally.  Everyone says
"make Cinder better"; But how do you intend to balance vendor interest and
the interest of the general project?  Where will your focus in the M
release be?  On your vendor code or on Cinder as a whole?  Note; I'm not
suggesting that anybody isn't doing the "right" thing here, I'm just asking
for specifics.

3. ​Why do you want to be PTL for Cinder?

Seems like a silly question, but really when you start asking that question
the answers can be surprising and somewhat enlightening.  There's different
motivators for people, what's yours?  By the way, "my employer pays me a
big bonus if I win" is a perfectly acceptable answer in my opinion, I'd
prefer honesty over anything else.  You may not get my vote, but you'd get
respect.

Thanks,
John
