Introducing OSS Release Integration Team


Amit Kumar Gupta
 

Hi all,

As some of you may already be aware, the Runtime team has recently been
refactored:

- The "CAPI" team will be responsible for the Cloud Controller and Services
API
- The Routing team will be responsible for work on routing, including the
existing Gorouter component and new work on TCP routing
- The OSS Release Integration team (MEGA) will be primarily responsible for
the integration of all components

There is a little more to that last one, so I'd like to share our mandate
document and open it up to questions, comments, and clarifications. A
rough draft had been previously shared with the community. We have since
gathered feedback and held a team Inception to socialize our goals and
refine our mandate:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WmA174FR6p2G0WJqUQ336wzWaYWgBEwBtFJz7uKFSdo/edit#

I'd also like to introduce the members of the new OSS Release Integration
team, so our names don't look unfamiliar when we respond to your issues,
pull requests, and mailing list messages.

Joseph Palermo, Technical Lead, Pivotal
Dan Lavine, Software Engineer, IBM
Zak Auerbach, Software Engineer, IBM
Duncan Winn, Solutions Engineer, Pivotal
Amit Gupta, PM, Pivotal

Thanks,
Amit

Ah, copy-paste fail! Zak is a Pivotal engineer, not IBM.

A useless question: Why is the team called MEGA?

There is no 'M' 'E' 'G' 'A' in the initial characters of 'The OSS Release
Integration team.'

It's just a historical oddity.

Well before it was clear that there was going to be a "MEGA" team with the
specific mandates set out above, we knew we had this big set of interrated
problems, cf-release being too monolithic, etc. Informally these set of
problems were referred to as "MEGA". The name stuck in people's heads and
conversations, as the actual name and responsibilities of the team
eventually got clarified.

It's similar to Diego in a way. Originally thought/discussed as a rewrite
of the DEA in Go, that description would now be considered misleading as
the project is so much more than that.

We're open to backronym suggestions for what MEGA could stand for though ;).

No problem, more than happy to clarify!
