Thank you Randy, you've summed up what I explained in the other thread.
Yes I promise to keep up a good work as EC2 PTL in the next cycle if I'm
appointed.
Best regards,
Alex Levine

Hello,
First of all, let me apologize for answering on Alex Levine's behalf, but
it's late night/early morning in Moscow, so I'm taking the liberty.
Second, Alex Levine was recently made PTL of the EC2-API project when it
was formally accepted as an official project, but failed to understand that he
would need to nominate himself again during the election process, since there
was such a short gap.
Third, as Tim points out, there is still significant usage of the EC2 APIs
in OpenStack. In fact, usage has been increasing. We have also begun to see
greater participation in the development process.
Finally, it is true that my team has not been as active on the APIs
recently; however, there is a very good reason for that. We are small and
recently focused on working with the RefStack team on adding new capabilities
to RefStack and new tests to Tempest to create a way to test for EC2 API
interoperability and compatibility. While this isn't work on the EC2 APIs
themselves, it is adjacent and important for their uptake, usage, and
evaluation, particularly by teams who want to integrate them into their
products.
My team is small, 5 people, but we're focused exclusively on OpenStack at
EMC, and the EC2 APIs will continue to be a top 3 priority for us for the
foreseeable future.
Ideally what we would do is put Alex in as PTL for the EC2 APIs and give us
some more time to make progress. From our perspective, things in this area
have actually been going swimmingly lately.
Best,
--Randy

Doug,
Given that the EC2 functionality is currently in use by at least 1/6th of
production clouds
(https://www.openstack.org/assets/survey/Public-User-Survey-Report.pdf page
34), this is a worrying situation.
The EC2 functionality was recently deprecated from Nova on the grounds that the
EC2 API project was the correct way to proceed. With the proposal now to not
have an EC2 API project at all, this will leave many in the community confused.

The EC2-API project doesn't appear to be very actively worked on.
There is one very recent commit from an Oslo team member, another
couple from a few days before, and then the next one is almost a
month old. Given the lack of activity, if no team member has
volunteered to be PTL I think we should remove the project from the
official list for lack of interest.
