Soon after starting with the community I started working with +the Cinder Team and was nominated for Core Team Member status shortly after that. + +My Cinder Career has had high points like the Cheesecake vs Tiramisu naming +and had low points like the famous Wifi Fiasco of 2015. I have been +fortunate enough while working with Cinder to achieve Stable Core status, been +able to serve as the Oslo Liaison and now most recently I am also serving as the +Documentation Liaison. So, I do see a wide swath of the project. + +We have been blessed, as a project, with great leadership over the years and I +would be honored to continue in that tradition. I have worked closely with +Sean McGinnis during his time as PTL and feel that I could come up to speed +in the role quickly given that experience. I also am very fortunate, as the +Cloud Storage Lead for Lenovo’s Cloud Technology Center to be in a position +and have support to make time for the PTL role. + +I feel that the Cinder project is currently entering a new era and faces a +number of challenges in the coming releases. Many of our seasoned members +have been pulled to other priorities and in response to that I want to +continue to make it easier to bring new people into the Cinder team. I +have been active in the Upstream Institute training and have created the +On-Boarding content that is currently available for Cinder. Both of +these are resources I hope we can continue to grow to facilitate bringing +new members into the team. My current focus on documentation will also, +hopefully, make it easier for everyone to work with and contribute to Cinder. + +Cinder has gone through a number of releases trying to add new features. +While some new features do deserve more attention, like Standalone Cinder, +HA and integration with Containers, I feel our focus is changing. Now we +have started to swing towards focusing on fixing Cinder and making it more +stable and user friendly. This is a trend I would like to see continue +during the next release. + +Thank you for taking the time to consider me for Queens PTL. I hope I +may have the opportunity to lead this great and talented team! + +Jay Bryant (jungleboyj)
