I'm involved in the following OpenStack projects: Identity service (Keystone)
I have several roles in community, as developer I have been contributing upstream since 2012, including Nova, Cinder, Oslo etc.
As one of OpenStack evangelists in China, I help promote OpenStack technologies in several meet-ups and hosted several meet-ups .
I served as individual Director of OpenStack Foundation in 2017/2018/2019 , and know the key areas of OpenStack Foundation should focus on.
I got feedback from community and involved some discussions like merge PTG back into Summit, bring OpenInfra Summit to mainland China。
The foundation board is important for the success of OpenStack. The board have been making the OpenStack ecosystem running on the right track,
we have been moving to host other projects like Zuul, Kata Containers, Airship, and Starling X, I believe OpenStack Foundation will play a vital role in the open source ecosystem and in the future of cloud technology.
As infrastructure continues to evolve with new use cases, which more and more rely on infrastructure , OpenStack projects can’t meet all the requirements for cloud customers, we need integrate with open source technologies and collaboration amongst open source communities.
I believe the top priority is that gathering consensus, concentrating resources, solving the key issues related to the long-term development :
– Attract more people to contribute for OpenStack and other projects and facilitate their development work all over the world, keep diversity.
– Collaborate with adjacent communities, integrate of open infrastructure projects to deliver cloud ready ecosystem for users.
