The Candidates (In ascending alphabetical order by family name)
Candidate: Lanilis (Gildas Lanilis)
Dear ONAP TSC,
I am motivated to serve as ONAP’s Release Manager to support the on-time delivery of our releases. In this role, I will focus my energy on developing a Release framework (templates, tools, processes) so the ONAP community can deliver on time.
Over the past year, I served as OPEN-O’s Release Manager, where we delivered two on-time releases. I understand what is necessary to support open source simultaneous releases. I can dedicate 100% of my time to serve as the Release Manager and work hand in hand, transparently and openly, with the TSC’s members, the PTL’s and all the community with the only objective for all of us to be successful. I will help to remove roadblocks and report status to the community. I have also been working on LF cross-project harmonization efforts, and if elected, will continue to work with the respective communities on a common CI/CD toolchain.
I have over 20 years of industry experience, including 7 years as a developer, in delivering great software that helps people in their life. I am a strong supporter of Lean and Agile practices that have helped me as:
- OPEN-O Release Manager, delivering as planned, on time 2 Open Source OPEN-O releases
- Enterprise Software Release Manager, adopting a 4 months release cycle to launch multiple releases to key customers
- Director Development Best Practices, leading a R&D and Product Management department adopting Agile practices and resulting to a CMMI Level 3 certification
Thank you for your trust and support.
