During the last year, I have had the +privilege of working with the rest of the committee, as well as the Technical +Committee, to: + +- Establish the Airship Vulnerability Management Process [0] +- Improve the developer workflow by configuring GitHub issues +- Improve the visibility and accessibility of our documentation by migrating it + from ReadtheDocs to docs.airshipit.org [1] +- Reduce the Airship 1 review time by reuniting the Airship 1 core teams +- Host our weekly IRC meetings +- Ensure that Airship continues to mature and remain accessible to interested + parties +- Serve as an ambassador to the OpenStack Foundation + +While we have seen many improvements over the last year, I identify several new +challenges ahead of us. + +1. As Airship 2 matures from beta to full release, the Working Committee needs + to identify places where Airship is not approachable by surveying new adopters. +2. GitHub issue controls (e.g. closing, labeling, and assigning issues) need to + be accessible to Airship developers. +3. The Working Committee needs to assist the community in finding additional + ways to improve the reliability of our continuous-integration systems. +4. The Working Committee must continue to survey developers, operators, and + core reviewers to identify areas where we can simplify our obligations. + +Core reviewers, I am asking you for the opportunity to address these challenges +and to ensure the continued smooth operation of the Airship project over the +next year. Thank you for your consideration this election! + +Drew Walters + +[0] https://docs.airshipit.org/learn/vulnerabilities.html +[1] https://docs.airshipit.org/index.html
