I would like to run for the OpenStack QA Program PTL position. I'm the current/interim PTL for OpenStack QA, chosen when QA was promoted to an official program mid cycle for Havana.
I started working on OpenStack just before the Essex release, and am currently a core reviewer on Tempest, Devstack, Grenade, Nova and a handful of other smaller projects. Over the past 6 months on QA I directly contributed to restructuring the Tempest tree and adding documentation to make it easier for new people to onboard to the project. We've also instituted a more structured weekly meeting that provides a way to clearly set near term group priorities, and ensure that important reviews don't get lost in the noise. My top priorities in Havana was getting parallel testing in the gate, and make grenade's upgrade testing gating. We managed to land both of those, plus a new performance testing framework that emerged mid cycle, and had many contributors to it. The actual work for all of these was done by our great team, which is growing every day. My top priorities in Icehouse are making debugging failures in the gate much easier, and growing our community. With gate testing now happening in parallel we are further exposing race conditions in OpenStack, all of which will show up in a production environment. Tooling to help people to get root cause on these "flakey" tests are critical for ensuring that we expose the races inside of OpenStack making for a better project for all. I believe the QA PTL role is mostly one of working across projects, as what's most needed to ensure OpenStack Quality at any point in time may be: more tests, or it may be adjusting the infrastructure to address a hole (like with global requirements testing), or it may be debugging an issue with developers in any one of our 9 integrated projects, or clients, or libraries.
