That's why I'm hereby proposing to act as PTL for this +Bobcat release. + +When looking at the mirror, we tried a couple of things te lower the entry +barrier in order to contribute to the Nova/Placement community : +- we had a productive meet-and-greet session at the Berlin summit +- we introduced a Review-Priority Gerrit label for identifying upstream interest +- people volunteered for upstream bug triage on a weekly basis +- we tried to minimize merge conflicts by ordering API changes + +Those different efforts worked pretty well for helping the Nova project to get +more hands willing to solve problems, but it didn't helped that far the +reviewing dynamics. Yes, we not only need contributors that contribute but we +also need contributors that review what others contribute. +During this Bobcat cycle, I'll propose a couple of incentives in that direction. + +This release is also special because it will be our first 'not-SLURP' [1] one. +As a PTL, I'll take an attention to track all the developments so we can +identify the necessary knobs in order to make this 'skipped' release a painless +experience for our operators. + +Last but certainly not the least, the recent weeks showed us how fragile we are +when our Zuul gate gets cold. I'll continue to propose help, support and +visibility for our beloved firefighters that dig into those problems, including +the stable branches which are crucial for many consumers of those branches. + + +Anyway, nothing can happen magically, we need hands. +Thanks, +-Sylvain + +[1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20220210-release-cadence-adjustment.html \ No newline at end of file
