With good reason the team is unlikely to be comfortable answering your
question, but I am happy to do so.

Juju is essential to  our success with large customers every day. It
makes it possible for us to support complex OpenStack and Kubernetes
deployments that are regularly extended and upgraded and updated,
something that nobody else can in practice deliver. And those customers
are increasingly wanting to use it for a broader array of software. So
Juju has its place in our plan and I am very happy with the way the team
is now organised, with team leads who really care about quality,
performance, features and customers. I hope you've noticed a big step up
in the quality and focus of Juju releases since 2.x and I would credit
the teams and their leads with that.

I asked every single team at Canonical, with a few specific exceptions
for example LXD and the security team, to participate in the cut, on the
basis that I wanted every manager to have to exercise this kind of
judgment. It's tough, but it's also important for a company to be
confident that it is constantly improving and assessing itself.

In the case of Juju Core and JAAS, I had already driven some changes in
this regard, and I felt the team was already substantially more focused
and doing well, so there was a gentler approach, although it is always
an emotional and difficult process even if it touches relatively few
colleagues. We will miss those colleagues but I think you can count on
steady and exciting progress in Juju and JAAS.

In the teams who work on charms, we are concentrating more folks around
the key pillars of OpenStack and Kubernetes, which are manifestations of
the "os-at-scale" so we (Canonical) are the natural vendor. We are also
asking the folks who lead charm-tech to use the K8s charms as their
proving ground, to ensure those tools really work for complex charm
development. We will also continue to anchor the Hadoop ecosystem but I
am delighted with the growth in third-party interest in charms in that
ecosystem and I am happily counting on you, Merlijn, and the other
members of the Hadoop charm ecosystem, to drive forward the broader
suite of charms there and elsewhere at the application level.

What about speed an velocity? Does a more focused Canonical mean more
resources for Juju?

The changes you hear about don't change the direction of Juju. We're still
focused on building a great platform for modeling and solving the software
problems we see out there.

Thanks for the <3, the teams appreciate it when folks find value in their
hard work.

A very big +1

Any official word on what this will mean for Juju?

Thank you!

I'll probably get whipped for doing this as its been playing on my mind and
I feel it needs doing.

Hopefully those who have left the company in the last few weeks haven't
completely left this list, I'd just like to send out a heartfelt thank you
on behalf of the community and juju users, to the people with whom I've
worked with over the past 18 months and to anyone I haven't, who have put
in blood sweat and tears at Canonical to create Juju it is a fantastic
platform and I hope wherever you all end up next our paths cross again
because you are all a great bunch of people.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks Tom, it was a good week and glad you got something out of the time
there. I know it's exciting for us in Engineering to directly chat with
folks using and abusing our tools. It's exciting to see what you all do
with what we've built and to help motivate us to keep at it so that we can
take things to the next level. It's definitely got a bit of a "if you build
it, and work really hard at it, they will come" feeling to it.

Thanks to you and everyone in the wide community that came out for bringing
all that excitement into our work.

Hi Folks

I was meaning to write this last week but the Hilton made me loose the will
to live...

Just a quick note to say thanks to all the Canonical staff who worked so
hard prior to and during the summit in Pasadena.

It was a great pleasure to be a part of such an event where you guys work
so hard to ensure everyone feels part of the community and a larger thing,
rather than an us and them feeling.

Of course its a two way thing and some of you I'm sure would say "it
wouldn't be the same with out you guys turning up" which I guess is true,
but the platform that Canonical provides as a way to interact with
developers and knowledge experts is way better than any other commercial
scale open source project I've had the pleasure to deal with. So keep it up!

Tom
