Statement of Intent

ODL is very stable but it is also monolithic. We need a way that more people can adopt ODL with relative ease.

There are a lot of problems that need to be sorted out. Some of which can be sorted by aligning ODL to latest deployment methodologies.

I intend to help ODL be adopted by more and more companies. 

I also intend help the community grow in terms of participation and contribution.

Statement of Intent

* Migrate existing CI jobs from Jenkins freestyle jobs to Jenkins pipelines.
* Last year, I spearheaded the work on containerizing ODL using docker/K8S pods/clusters. This gives an opportunity for new developers to deploy/test ODL as a container.
   There is scope to add more use-cases and potential opportunities to migrate some of the CSIT jobs onto the K8S environment.
* Improve processes and workflows within OpenDaylight, ensuring best practices are shared across LF projects.
* Optimize ODL's CI infrastructure to improve CI/job performance with a focus on quality, metrics and minimize downtime.
* Continue making OpenDaylight Simultaneous Releases in a timely manner.
* Facilitate new developers to contribute to ODL and automate the infrastructure.
* Improve documentation that would benefit the larger developer community.
