Hi, I would like to submit my candidacy to continue as PTL of Solum for the Newton cycle.
In Mitaka we accomplished several things including, - completion of app and workflow API model - ability to scale application instances - ability to deploy pre-built application containers - made Solum's devstack and vagrant development environments stable - kept up with upstream in regards to release tools and various plugins - got new contributors For Newton cycle, I believe we have following challenges in front of us. - Code stability We need to focus on adding more tests towards improving code stability - Documentation Our getting started guide can be improved considerably so that it further lowers the barrier for new contributors to get a working Solum environment. We need to improve documentation for sample applications which we provide within solum repository. - Multi-container apps We need to enhance Solum to build and deploy multi-container applications which may follow different kinds of container patterns. - Deprecating plans and assemblies When we started Solum, the abstractions of plans and assemblies provided good starting points for modeling applications and their deployments. Over time it was felt by the team that these abstractions did not align with similar abstractions from other systems, and hence the team developed and implemented abstractions of 'app' and 'workflow'. Time has come for us to deprecate plans and assemblies. This will greatly simplify our codebase. - Horizon plugin We have a horizon plugin, but we have not actively maintained it in last few cycles. Now that the new API is in place, it is time for us to revisit the plugin and get it working again. - Migrate off of oslo incubator Currently we are lagging behind in adoption of oslo libraries. In the current cycle we got help from several members of the Oslo team towards migrating some parts of our codebase to use oslo libraries. I am really grateful to them for this help. I plan to engage with their team more on this in this cycle. Let us work together on achieving these goals in this cycle.
