I've been building +and running Ironic off and on for eight years. In my career, I've seen and +helped Ironic run in a variety of ways: as a part of OnMetal – the first bare +metal public cloud, internal clouds that stretch the limits of our software, +and as an upstream contributor without any operational responsibilities. + +First and foremost, my new employer, G-Research Open Source Software, has +agreed to prioritize my upstream work in Ironic and to support me if elected +as PTL. This means that the Ironic project will be able to have a leader with +minimal downstream responsibilities, able to be fully dedicated to helping +Ironic run smoothly. + +One of the things I've appreciated about the Ironic community as it has evolved +is our ability to gain consensus due to a large amount of trust and shared +context. This makes the role of PTL in our community not one of power but +instead a role of service. That's why, if elected, I intend to maintain that +focus on service to the community and will dedicate my time to getting as much +of the invisible but necessary work done as possible. My goal is to remove the +annoying bits and enable the rest of the community to keep improving Ironic. + +Finally, I want to thank Iury: he’s been a great PTL in the last cycle, and I +know we’ll be in good hands if the community chooses to continue with his +leadership. + +Thanks, +Jay Faulkner + +IRC: JayF
