I've attended many OpenStack +summits and Project Teams Gatherings over the years and have been +privileged to help the project grow from its small beginnings to +the established cloud platform that it has now become. + +I was the main driver behind migration of the OpenStack Charms to its +current home as an official OpenStack project which I then led for many +cycles as PTL and I remain an active core developer on this project. + +I also work as part of the team responsible for the packaging and +distribution of OpenStack as part of Ubuntu. + +I've spent time in the past contributing to oslo.messaging (ZeroMQ +prototyping) and contributing minor fixes across other OpenStack +projects through my work in Ubuntu. + +More recently I’ve been involved in the design of enabling support +for the current and next generation of hardware offload enabled +network cards in OVN and OpenStack. + +I have not served on the TC before but I believe I can bring a valuable +technical voice from an OpenStack distribution and deployment tooling +perspective. For the majority of operators this will be their primary +route for adoption of OpenStack as a cloud platform. + +As a member of the TC I would look for opportunities to enable better +collaboration between deployment projects and core projects to +ensure that OpenStack becomes easier to consume. + +Thank you for taking the time to consider my candidacy for this role. + +Regards + +James Page (irc:jamespage)
