Howdy,
My name is Joshua Hesketh and I would like to self nominate for the Technical
Committee.
I work for Rackspace Australia and have been involved in the OpenStack community
since the Havana release circa 2013. I have been primarily working on the
Infrastructure (infra) project where I am both a core contributor and root.
Outside of OpenStack, I have experience leading various communities within the
Oceania region. For six years I served the open source community as President
and Treasurer of Linux Australia. During this time I helped to grow and scale
the organisation from overseeing a single conference each year, to over eight.
Additionally I've directly helped organise and run multiple Linux Australia
Conferences (linux.conf.au), PyCon Australia Conferences, as well as OpenStack
and cloud/infrastructure miniconfs.
I am a strong proponent and advocate for free and open source software. I am
also a strong believer in the Four Opens that make up OpenStack, and believe we
lead the way for managing open clouds. I want to do all that I can to help
further this mission.
The Technical Committee has been doing a great job leading the community and I
don't have a particular platform for radical change. Instead, I would like to
help continue to strengthen and work on the committee with a focus on the
following:
- Enabling the community. The TC is here to serve the community and facilitate
collaboration.
- Protecting our values, in particular the Four Opens.
- Continuing to investigate and evaluate alternative technologies and how we
work with them. For example, evaluating and introducing new languages.
- Promote collaboration with the wider open source community. For example,
participating with communities such as kubernetes.
- Easing pain for operators, deployers and users by helping to improve
consistency across projects through OpenStack-wide goals.
I would be glad to answer any questions during the candidacy period (and any
time for that matter) and if elected I look forward to working in this new role.
Thank you for your consideration,
Joshua Hesketh
