I have been +working on the OpenStack since 2012, firstly focused on Nova and then focus +on Oslo, also contributed to several other projects[2]. I've been serving +as the PTL of Oslo (OpenStack Common libraries) for Pike and Queens. + +During the last 5 years, as a developer I have the chance to talk with +users/operators, meeting users/operators' requirements and making +OpenStack more useful are important, that's the key factor to make OpenStack +successful. OpenStack has huge potential customers though some companies +adjust their investment on OpenStack. We have some progress on shortening +the feedback loop like building SIG(Special Interest Group) to involve more +users. Not all the users can raise their requirements easily due to the +barrier like language. TC may need work with UC to find more ways to collect +users/operators' requirements like we have 'Top 5 help wanted list' in +development cycle. + +OpenStack is the first open source project I contributed, I've learned a lot +from community leaders in the past 5 years and guided some new contributors +how to work with other world wide contributors. It's not a easy to be +productive for a new contributor especially for whom without open source +experience. In last several cycles some key contributors changed their work, +not focus on OpenStack, in the other side, some new contributors couldn't find +'the right way' to contribute, posting trivial repeated patches, we're facing +the challenge! Though we have program 'OpenStack Upstream Institute' to training +new contributors, that's not enough for new contributor, because not all new +contributors can attend the the OpenStack Summit. TC may host more online events +to invite community leaders to communicate with new contributors, and help new +contributors to contribute in 'the right way'. + +As a TC member I want to focus on shortening the feedback loop and guiding new +contributors. Thank you for your consideration! + +ChangBo Guo(gcb) + + +[1] https://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/14945/changbo-guo +[2] http://stackalytics.com/report/users/glongwave \ No newline at end of file
