Hi everyone, We've come a long way in the last cycle, taking us on a challenging journey which is starting to reap rewards. I would like the opportunity to serve the community as PTL in the Mitaka cycle with the following aims: 1. Grow the community I would like to increase our community participation through the engagement with other OpenStack Projects and the Operator community. I believe that it's crucial to the success of the project to increase the diversity of contributors and I'd like this to be a focus for the cycle. 2. Improve modularity The project has built Ansible roles which are re-usable outside of the defined use-cases which we do integration testing with. This, however, is not obvious to anyone unless they spend a fair amount of time investigating the playbooks and roles. I would like to reduce this barrier to entry by moving towards a 'Big Tent' concept for our roles, with each role being in its own repository, tested independently and fully re-usable in a design of the deployers choosing. 3. Improve platform support enablement Fairly common feedback from deployers has been that they like the project, but would prefer to deploy on an alternative Operating System. While the door has always been open for a contributor to put a patch up for review, it is important that we acknowledge that this is not as simple a task as it could be. I would like us to put some energy into lowering the barrier to entry for this task to make it simpler to achieve. 4. Improve usability Through improvements to our playbooks, roles and documentation, I believe that OpenStack-Ansible can be made simpler and easier to develop for, to deploy and to operate. I look forward to working with you all for the next cycle and hope that we can meet our lofty goals! Jesse IRC: odyssey4me
