I have been working on OpenStack +(mainly in Desigate - the DNS as a Service project) since Havana, which is when +I started to get involved in the work of Technical Committee, for the Designate +Incubation application. + +I have been PTL for Designate for Mitaka, Newton, Ocata, Queens, Rocky, Stein +and Train cycles, and a core for a longer period. I believe my experience +working in a younger, smaller project within OpenStack is still a benefit, +especially as we add more projects to the OpenStack Foundation (OSF) along +side the original OpenStack project. + +I have spent time recently working on a very large OpenStack cloud in a day to +operations role, and I think that this experience is important to have on the +Technical Committee. The experience that a lot of our users have is very +different to what we may assume, and knowing how end users deal with bugs, +deployment life cycles and vendors should guide us. + +I have been involved in the discussion around the future goals this cycle, and +I would like to try and keep driving this forward. I see goals as a real, +tangible change that the TC can drive that helps the community as a whole. + +I think the experience I have had (from both an operator perspective, and as +the PTL of a small project that is struggling with contributor levels) is +valuable. + +I do think cycling out members of the TC is important, but I think that with +the turn over we have is at a good level, and that I can still provide a fresh +out look on the TC. + +Thanks, + +Graham \ No newline at end of file
