Dear all, I’d like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the QA Program for the Queens cycle. I served as PTL for QA during the Pike cycle, and I would be honoured to continue to do so in the next six months. After a few years working with the OpenStack community, I continue to find it an exceptional experience and great opportunity for meeting and working with great people, learning and innovating. My priority is to provide, as a QA team, an excellent service to the OpenStack community: stable gates (based on the great infrastructure maintained by the infra team); easy to use and well documented tools to enable project teams to achieve their quality goals; support and attention to the community needs. We have limited resources to achieve all that and I would like to counter that by: - mentorning new and existing contributors - investing in automation to make the day to day maintainence less onerous - making QA tools beneficial beyond OpenStack to attract contributors from other communities Thank you!
