I would like to announce my candidacy for Security Project PTL for Queens. I have been a member of the security project for 2-3 years, and a core member for one year. During my tenure as core I have managed public and embargoed security notes and contributed with my feedback to the VMT team on OpenStack vulnerabilities. I have also been an active contributor to the security guide as well as a regular reviewer. I am the current driver for the security guide launchpad page. As PTL, I'd like to focus on the following things: * Documentation I am currently planning a revamp of the Security guide to bring it up to date with Pike. To do this I will reach out to other projects to help validate the information in the guide is technically correct and up to date. I also would like to migrate the checklists into a format that can be easily filtered to a specific release, thereby allowing other security tools and processes to easily consume the content and gain a snapshot of what security actions are required to harden any given release. * Support and championing of OpenStack security projects. I would like to put forward continued support by means of reviews and feedback for the projects currently having their home under the security project, and I have plans to propose further projects. Our close synergy with the Barbican project should continue to be fostered, and encouraged. * Perform Threat Analysis with further projects The Threat Analysis project has proved very useful in helping the VMT and operators understand the threat landscape pertinent to each OpenStack project. I will work with and encourage other projects to undergo threat analysis. * Encourage more contributions and grow some new cores The security project has lost a good number of core members due to companies shifting priorities, so I would like increase the projects exposure with blog posts to planet.openstack.org and by outreach at various other tech events. I see it as vital to keep the security project afloat, as operators rely so much on the project for guidance on securing OpenStack clouds. Regards, Luke Hinds (lhinds)
