Re: [openstack-dev] [Congress] PTL Non-Candidacy + Nomination
I’m writing to announce my candidacy for the Congress Program Technical Lead (PTL). (Congress is not yet incubated, but we follow the standard PTL election procedure.) I’m an active contributor in terms of code commits, code reviews, spec writing, spec reviews, and IRC. I’ve been serving as Chief Architect and have worked on Congress since the beginning. In the upcoming cycle I propose focusing on the following issues. 1) Deployments: I’d like to deploy Congress into real production clouds to get feedback from real operators and help us refine our development priorities. 2) Community: I’d like us to understand what the developers in the OpenStack community want and need from Congress and how we can work together to improve the overall policy capabilities of OpenStack as a whole. I’d like us to make a concerted effort to welcome new Congress developers and help them become productive. 3) End users: I’d like us to make it easier for people to write policy; I’d like us to make it easier for users to add new cloud services over which they can write policy; and I’d like to give people more insight into what Congress can do with policy. 4) Capabilities: I’d like us to make our first foray into policy enforcement—having Congress actively make changes in the cloud to help it obey policy. While there are many more things I’d like us to work on, at this point in the project making progress in each of these areas seems most crucial. Thanks for your consideration!

Yes, I should have mentioned, Congress is currently a StackForge project, but we follow many of the standard timelines and processes. Sorry if I caused any confusion. - Peter On 9/29/14, 2:28 PM, "Anita Kuno" wrote: >On 09/29/2014 05:20 PM, Peter Balland wrote: >> It has been an honor to serve as the interim PTL for the Congress >>project during Juno.

[openstack-dev] [Congress] PTL Non-Candidacy + Nomination
It has been an honor to serve as the interim PTL for the Congress project during Juno. Due to other commitments I have during the Kilo timeframe, I feel I would not be able to commit the time needed by the growing project. In my place, I would like to nominate Tim Hinrichs for PTL of Congress. Tim has been involved in the Congress project since its inception, and has been serving as its chief architect. He is very active in policy research, code, and community, and has a great strategic vision for the project. - Peter ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
