Fellow Barbicaneers, I'd like to nominate myself to continue to serve as Barbican PTL through the Stein cycle. This is still an exciting time for Barbican. We're seeing more deployers using Barbican, and that trend should continue as deployers focus more on meeting security and compliance requirements. A castellan compatible backend has finally been prescribed as a base service, meaning that we should start seeing more integrations as Openstack developers start to store their secrets more securely. In particular, for the Stein cycle, I'd like to continue the progress made in Rocky to: 1) Grow the Barbican team of contributors and core reviewers. 2) Help drive further collaboration with other Openstack projects. 3) Help ensure that deployments are successful by keeping up on bugs fixes and backports. 4) Help develop new secret store plugins, in particular : -- making sure the vault plugin works robustly. -- using the PKCS#11 plugin to communicate with ATOS, Luna, Thales and SoftHSM. -- SGX and Fortanix 5) Continue the stability, maturity and usability enhancements. Thank you in advance for this opportunity to serve. --Ade Lee (alee)
