That each of us are +worrying, and that many of us are struggling. "Normalizing", and ultimately +accepting the things we cannot control is a vital step forward in our +personal and community growth. Finding a path forward is critical in +this time. Not just as humans in a pandemic, but as also community +members in a project. The vital aspect is continuous across both contexts: +We cannot do it alone, We must work together! + +I too have strengths and weaknesses that I am all too well aware of, +and there truly is nothing more re-assuring than those around you +encouraging you to continue to support them. For we all need +sturdy foundations to take the steps forward. To build the next layer! +To continue the journey we are on. + +As such, I hereby announce my candidacy for the role of Project Team Leader +for the Ironic project during the Victoria cycle. That is if you will have me. + +I foresee the upcoming cycle as a time when we will need to be there to +support our community and users. + +This may take the form of advanced features, lending an occasional ear, +or going that extra mile to help each other. + +And if we need a distraction, I believe we have have some difficult problems +yet to solve which can have a major impact in not just our code, +but the world at large. While not an exhaustive list of items, it is still +an impactful list of work we have been discussing and seek to add into +Ironic moving forward. + +* Multi-tenancy, while underway, opens the world to new possibilities and +  co-ordination of hardware resources with-in an organization. + +* Persistent Agents allowing for faster re-provision of deployments on +  the edge and where the networking is in a fixed configuration. + +* TLS for Agent Communication to help ensure the nodes on the edge remain +  secure. + +* kexec could potentially save significant amounts of time between steps +  of deployment, and enable operators with larger memory footprints to save +  precious time of a Power-on-Self-Test. + +* Attestation system integration so we can improve the odds of identifying a +  machine with modified firmware and prevent it from moving through the +  hardware life-cycle as a result. + +* Enhancement of power management, so operators can avoid having to wait +  for the Power-on-Self-Test, and maybe even power some of those machines off. + +Onward, together! For I'm fairly sure we've not completely taken over the +world... yet. + +Julia (TheJulia) Kreger
