About Jay

I am Jay Faulkner, an Open Source Developer and Advocate. I believe that through working with others around the world to solve problems we can make the world better. Open source is a great way to do that.

My current employer, the G-Research Open Source Software team, believes that and enables me to work on open source software to help ensure that the open source ecosystems they rely on remain healthy long term.

Projects I Work On

Ironic

OpenStack, primarily written in Python, is a cloud computing platform. I've been working on Ironic, a component that plugs into OpenStack -- or can be used standalone -- to provision real, physical hardware as easily as one can provision VMs. I currently serve as a member of the OpenStack Technical Committee and as Project Team Lead for OpenStack Ironic.

I've been a working on Ironic since the icehouse cycle (2014), and have been active in code review and development of the project since then. Ironic remains a primary part of my daily work and representing approximately 4/5 of my full time focus.

Ironic is an incredibly impressive piece of software, and I'm very proud of how far it's come in the years I've worked on it. It'll be fun to see where the future leads.

Armada

Armada is a kubernetes batch meta-scheduler currently in the CNCF sandbox. It's used at extreme scale to schedule and manage jobs across multiple kubernetes clusters.

I have only recently begun working on Armada, and have been focusing primarily on continuous integration, client code, and developer outreach. I spent approximately 1/5 of my full time job contributing to Armada.

Armada has opened the door to a separate cloud world altogether -- CNCF and kubernetes. It's been interesting to see some of the similarities and differences between the tooling and community around it compared to OpenStack.

Gentoo

Gentoo is a highly customizable linux distribution that focuses on building the system from source. Gentoo linux is the tool I used to learn about open source and linux, and I've used it off and on for over 15 years. Now, it's the primary OS on most computers I run.

I do Gentoo on my own time, cleaning up and helping proxy-maintain ebuilds across the main Gentoo repo and a handful of overlays. I'm also a regular presence on several Gentoo-related channels on IRC. Come find me there as nickname JayF or JasonF. I hope to ramp up my contribution to Gentoo and remain a long-term presence in the community.

Working with Gentoo has enabled me to make small contributions to a myriad of open source projects -- mostly minor build fixes. I always enjoy working with Gentoo because of the many different ideas, packages, and systems you can run up against when trying to solve problems.
