[openstack-dev] [Congress] PTL candidacy

2016-09-12 Thread Eric K
Hi all!

I¹m writing to announce my candidacy for Congress PTL (Ocata).

First, I¹d like to thank Tim for his outstanding leadership since the very
beginning of the project.  Under his leadership, Congress has grown from an
interesting idea to a capable service.  I would also like to thank everyone
for
their tremendous support in bringing me along as a Congress contributor,
from
first learning the codebase to leading the high-availability design and
implementation efforts.  I¹m truly grateful to be a part of such a
welcoming,
collaborative and supportive community.

For the Ocata cycle, my main focus for Congress is usability and
ease-of-adoption.  For example, by shipping Congress with pre-built policies
and templates, Congress would provide useful policy-based monitoring fresh
out-of-the-box, its time-to-value improving from weeks to under a day.  I
also
aim to continue prioritizing user engagement, cross-project collaboration,
and
code robustness.  Last but not least, I look forward to supporting our
project
members in their goals and visions for Congress.

Thank you all once again!

-- Eric J. Kao

[openstack-dev] [Congress] PTL candidacy

2016-03-11 Thread Tim Hinrichs
Hi all,

I'm writing to announce my continued candidacy for Congress PTL.

In the Mitaka cycle we've been working hard and making great progress on a
number of things.  The largest change is a new distributed architecture
built on top of oslo-messaging.  That architecture is key to enabling us to
meet the high-availability and high throughput demands that we've heard
from the field.  We also saw the first new mechanism since the project's
inception for injecting data into Congress, so that external systems can
push data, instead of Congress pulling it.  In Mitaka, we also completed
the transition to Python3, and implemented the plugin interface for both
tempest and devstack.  It's also exciting that over the last two cycles, we
have seen longer-term commitments to Congress from the community, with 1
new core reviewer this cycle, and two other incredibly active contributors.

In Newton, my primary technical goal is to complete the migration to our
new distributed architecture.  I also hope to have Congress leverage that
new architecture to provide high-availability and high-throughput
solutions.  I plan to continue discussions with other projects to
understand how and where Congress can be useful. Finally, I'm looking
forward to stengthening the developer community around Congress.

Tim

Hi all,

I’m writing to announce my candidacy for Congress PTL for the Mitaka cycle.  
I’m excited at the prospect of continuing the development of our community, our 
code base, and our integrations with other projects.

This past cycle has been exciting in that we saw several new, consistent 
contributors, who actively pushed code, submitted reviews, wrote specs, and 
participated in the mid-cycle meet-up.  Additionally, our integration with the 
rest of the OpenStack ecosystem improved with our move to running tempest tests 
in the gate instead of manually or with our own CI.  The code base matured as 
well, as we rounded out some of the features we added near the end of the Kilo 
cycle.  We also began making the most significant architectural change in the 
project’s history, in an effort meet our high-availability and API throughput 
targets.

I’m looking forward to the Mitaka cycle.  My highest priority for the code base 
is completing the architectural changes that we began in Liberty.  These 
changes are undoubtedly the right way forward for production use cases, but it 
is equally important that we make Congress easy to use and understand for both 
new developers and new end users.  I also plan to further our integration with 
the OpenStack ecosystem by better utilizing the plugin architectures that are 
available (e.g. devstack and tempest).  I will also work to begin (or continue) 
dialogues with other projects that might benefit from consuming Congress.  
Finally I’m excited to continue working with our newest project members, 
helping them toward becoming core contributors.

See you all in Tokyo!

[openstack-dev] [Congress] PTL candidacy

2015-04-06 Thread Tim Hinrichs
Hi all,

I'm writing to announce my candidacy for PTL of Congress for the Liberty cycle. 
 We've made a lot of progress in Kilo, and I'm excited by what we'll achieve in 
Liberty!  To give us some perspective, I compiled a (partial) list of 
improvements we made in Kilo:

* Officially became part of OpenStack (moved from stackforge to openstack)
* Matured the Congress community (commits/LOC from outside VMware: Juno:8%, 
Kilo:26%)
* Integrated with our first external project: Murano
* Improved scale-up by orders of magnitude (see 
http://ruleyourcloud.com/2015/03/12/scaling-up-congress.html)
* Added the first version of reactive enforcement (correcting policy violations 
after they happen)
* Created a Horizon GUI for writing policy
* Built a DSL for integrating external cloud services and enabled on-demand 
(de)installation of services

We achieved just about everything we set out to do in Kilo, thanks to the hard 
work of many outstanding folks.  For the Liberty cycle, I'm planning on similar 
success in the following areas.

* Production deployments
* Scale-out: enabling high-availability and increased throughput
* Delegation: enabling Congress to interoperate with other policy engines to 
share the burden of policy enforcement
* Community: increasing non-VMware contributions, in terms of commits/LOC and 
especially reviews

While Congress is an early-stage project, we're on a great track, and I'll make 
sure we stay on it.  As always I'm happy to chat about future directions, past 
progress, and anything in between.

Thanks!
Tim
