I'd be honored to continue to serve as your PTL for OpenStack Swift. Like many other OpenStack projects, Swift's contributor base has grown smaller and become more employer-concentrated. This change brings new challenges about how to coordinate work, hold to open principles, and attract new contributors. Additionally, the OpenStack Foundation is changing focus to include things not in OpenStack itself. Both of these changes raise questions about Swift's future. As PTL, I will continue to work with people inside and outside of our community to figure out how we can be successful together. As to internal technical direction, our long-term plans are relatively unchanged. We need to improve efficiency in large storage servers. We need to improve internal protocols so that client requests can be balanced with internal requests. We need to improve the way objects are stored to reduce overhead and improve performance. Each of these technical challenges need to happen with continued feedback from operators and end users. As PTL, I will continue to work within the Swift community to coordinate this work and ensure it gets done.
