Hi Everyone, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for another cycle as the PTL for the QA program/team/group/whatever it's called under the new governance model.
This past cycle has been a very exciting one for the QA program. We've made a bunch of progress on numerous work items to improve the growing number of projects under the QA umbrella. While this work is ongoing we've also had to adapt as the wider community has been moving to a new governance model. We've been working to make the QA program more externally accessible and consumable in preparation for a large growth in the number of projects. On the tempest side this has meant a steady expansion of code being moved into tempest-lib to provide resources, which were previously only available in tempest, externally consumable. For devstack we've seen the addition of plugin support which allows new projects to leverage deploying, testing, and developing with devstack without needing to modify devstack's code itself. Another effort which I outlined in my candidacy email for this past cycle [1] and a blog post preceding that [2] was the work to make the QA projects more modular and reusable. It turned out that this work lines up quite well with what is needed to enable the self service model we're working towards under the big tent. I expect that as we continue to evolve our current set of projects to be more modular and work under the big tent that using the tooling in different workflows will also improve. Moving into Liberty my plan is to continue heading down this same path and working to enable more projects to become self sufficient when using QA projects. To this end I expect we'll be adding a similar external plugin interface into grenade early in liberty, a continued expansion on the use of devstack plugins, and migrating more of tempest's common code over to tempest-lib. Additionally, the continued efforts that we've been pushing for some time to make tempest and the other QA projects easier to use in general, both in and out of the gate, will definitely continue. This is something we've made a lot of progress on this past cycle and think it will definitely be a continued priority for Liberty. It's been my honor to serve as the QA PTL for the past 2 cycles and I'm looking forward to helping make Liberty another great cycle. I hope to have the opportunity to continue leading the QA program as PTL and work towards making a better OpenStack with the rest of the community. Thanks, Matt Treinish [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-September/046704.html [2] http://blog.kortar.org/?p=4
