I would like to submit my candidacy for the TC election. + +I have been involved in OpenStack activities since April 2011, when I became +part one of the founders of the networking project known as Quantum at that +time. I have been a core reviewer for Neutron since November 2011. I helped +to create the networking guide and contributed to multiple chapters. I have +spoken at many OpenStack summits, meet-ups and conferences. I have been very +active in the Operators meet-up moderating multiple sessions. In few words +"I love to evangelize OpenStack". + +Last four years I have gained experience on project management and leadership +from different team perspectives like technology vendors, networking start-up +and over a year as OpenStack operator. This last one has been very interesting +compare with my previous ones because of my focus on a production ready +cloud powered by OpenStack. Running a high-scale production cloud is giving me +a different perspective on how the platform should be delivered as a product +ready to use and that is what I will be bringing to the TC and to all project +members and PTLs. + +As a TC member my main focus will be to close any existing gap between the +development teams and their customers who are the OpenStack users and operators +between others. In my operator role I have validated documentation and best +practices on OpenStack deployment and operations and I have been provided all +possible feedback and I want to do more on this area. I believe we can make +OpenStack better if we open the TC to members who have deployed pure OpenStack +with no vendor specific guidelines or any specific distribution influence. + +I strongly believe we will make OpenStack more solid and integrated. I will +work as cross-project liaison in order to reach this goal. I will continue my +work of evangelizing the newest OpenStack projects and guide them to have the +best adoption process by the community and also I will help them to have the +best integration with any other open-source technologies. + +No matter what is the result of the election I will continue my work on +OpenStack with passion and courage. This is the best project ever and it can +be even better. Let's inject some fresh ideas to the TC, let's keep making +this platform the de-facto cloud management system for all operators either +public, private or hybrid clouds. + +Thank you so much for reading and considering my humble aspiration to the TC! + +-- +Edgar Magana +IRC: emagana
