A Continuously Changing Environment:
- We have core developers who’ve been around for a long while stepping down and giving the opportunity to the “next generation” to take on the responsibility of leadership
- Thank you for your presence, for teaching and for showing other contributors a good example by embracing open source and OpenStack
- Andrew Laski (Nova): “As I’ve told people many times when they ask me what it’s like to work on an open source project like this: working on proprietary software exposes you to smart people but you’re limited to the small set of people within an organization, working on a project like this exposed me to smart people from many companies and many parts of the world. I have learned a lot working with you all. Thanks.”
- Carl Baldwin (Neutron): “This is a great community and I’ve had a great time participating and learning with you all.”
- Marek Denis (Keystone): “It’s been a great journey, I surely learned a lot and improved both my technical and soft skills.”
- Thank you for all your hard work!
Community goals for Ocata:
- Starting with the Newton, our community commits to release goals in order to provide the minimum level of consistency and user experience and to improve certain areas OpenStack-wide [1]
- The goal is to remove all remaining incubated Oslo code in Ocata[2][3]
Unit Test Setup Changes [10]:
- Attempt to remove DB dependency from the unit test jobs
- Special DB jobs still exist to provide workaround where needed along with a script in ‘tools/test-setup.sh’
- Long term goal is for projects to not use the -db jobs anymore, new changes for them should not be accepted.
Project Info in README Files [11]
- Increase visibility of fundamental project information that is already available on the governance web site [12]
- Badges are automatically generated as part of the governance CI [13]
- Every project is strongly recommended to use this new system to provide information about
- The project’s state (in Big Tent or not, etc.)
- Project tags
- Project capabilities
