The successes goal champions experience, the connections they make and the elevated reputation they gain throughout the community during the process of these efforts builds new leaders for us all. Again, I'm not saying TC members should be doing all of the work themselves. That's not realistic, especially when critical parts of any major effort are going to involve developers from projects on which none of the TC members are active contributors (e.g. nova). I want to see TC members herd cats, for lack of a better analogy, and help out technically (with code) where possible. Given the repeated mention of how the "help wanted" list continues to not draw in contributors, I think the recruiting role of the TC should take a back seat to actually stepping in and helping work on those items directly. For example, Sean McGinnis is taking an active role in the operators guide and other related docs that continue to be discussed at every face to face event since those docs were dropped from openstack-manuals (in Pike). I think it's fair to say that the people generally elected to the TC are those most visible in the community (it's a popularity contest) and those people are generally the most visible because they have the luxury of working upstream the majority of their time. As such, it's their duty to oversee and spend time working on the hard cross-project technical deliverables that operators and users are asking for, rather than think of an infinite number of ways to try and draw *others* to help work on those gaps. As I think it's the role of a PTL within a given project to have a finger on the pulse of the technical priorities of that project and manage the developers involved (of which the PTL certainly may be one), it's the role of the TC to do the same across openstack as a whole. If a PTL doesn't have the time or willingness to do that within their project, they shouldn't be the PTL. The same goes for TC members IMO. -- Thanks, Matt ___ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators

Absolutely. I'm not saying the cross-project project management should be restricted to or solely the responsibility of the TC. It's obvious there are people outside of the TC that have already been doing this - and no it's not always elected PTLs either. What I want is elected TC members to prioritize driving technical deliverables to completion based on ranked input from operators/users/SIGs over philosophical debates and politics/bureaucracy and help to complete the technical tasks if possible. -- Thanks, Matt ___ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators

[Openstack-operators] Open letter/request to TC candidates (and existing elected officials)
Rather than take a tangent on Kristi's candidacy thread [1], I'll bring this up separately. Kristi said: "Ultimately, this list isn’t exclusive and I’d love to hear your and other people's opinions about what you think the I should focus on." Well since you asked... Some feedback I gave to the public cloud work group yesterday was to get their RFE/bug list ranked from the operator community (because some of the requests are not exclusive to public cloud), and then put pressure on the TC to help project manage the delivery of the top issue. I would like all of the SIGs to do this. The upgrades SIG should rank and socialize their #1 issue that needs attention from the developer community - maybe that's better upgrade CI testing for deployment projects, maybe it's getting the pre-upgrade checks goal done for Stein. The UC should also be doing this; maybe that's the UC saying, "we need help on closing feature gaps in openstack client and/or the SDK". I don't want SIGs to bombard the developers with *all* of their requirements, but I want to get past *talking* about the *same* issues *every* time we get together. I want each group to say, "this is our top issue and we want developers to focus on it." For example, the extended maintenance resolution [2] was purely birthed from frustration about talking about LTS and stable branch EOL every time we get together. It's also the responsibility of the operator and user communities to weigh in on proposed release goals, but the TC should be actively trying to get feedback from those communities about proposed goals, because I bet operators and users don't care about mox removal [3]. I want to see the TC be more of a cross-project project management group, like a group of Ildikos and what she did between nova and cinder to get volume multi-attach done, which took persistent supervision to herd the cats and get it delivered. Lance is already trying to do this with unified limits. Doug is doing this with the python3 goal. I want my elected TC members to be pushing tangible technical deliverables forward. I don't find any value in the TC debating ad nauseam about visions and constellations and "what is openstack?". Scope will change over time depending on who is contributing to openstack, we should just accept this. And we need to realize that if we are failing to deliver value to operators and users, they aren't going to use openstack and then "what is openstack?" won't matter because no one will care. So I encourage all elected TC members to work directly with the various SIGs to figure out their top issue and then work on managing those deliverables across the community because the TC is particularly well suited to do so given the elected position. I realize political and bureaucratic "how should openstack deal with x?" things will come up, but those should not be the priority of the TC. So instead of philosophizing about things like, "should all compute agents be in a single service with a REST API" for hours and hours, every few months - immediately ask, "would doing that get us any closer to achieving top technical priority x?"
