Open Stack

I was supposed to volunteer myself being Ceilometer PTL because we have
also deployed Ceilometer in production. I haven't contributed Ceilometer
for several dev cycles but I'm familiar with Ceilometer code (and Aodh as
well), and I am an active contributor for OpenStack for 6 years.

Trinh chatted with me in IRC for the same interest in Ceilometer as they
are also using Ceilometer and Aodh in production. I'm very happy he could
help because maybe I'll be too busy with maintaining two other projects. I
(and other developers in our company) can definitely help if needed.

Personally, I think being a PTL not only means the one who has contributed
a lot, but also means the one who is willing to help the project developers
and users, and doing the common tasks in order to coordinate with the whole
community, most importantly, the one who is the real user of a project.


Cheers,
Lingxian Kong
