I'm announcing my candidacy for the Technical Committee +Elections. + +Those of you who have been involved in OpenStack most likely know me, as I was +part of the original team from Rackspace that created OpenStack in 2010. For +the past year or so I have been employed at IBM to work on 100% upstream +OpenStack development. Part of that time has been spent getting a good overview +of both the project and the community behind it. I've also placed some of my +focus on the groups of people working *with* OpenStack, and not just those +developing it. And to that end I've been working with the current TC as much as +possible, especially in the areas of API standardization and consistency. I'm +always lurking on the regular TC meetings (and sometimes throwing in my two +cents), and reviewing as much of the material as I can. I believe that I can +have a much greater impact as part of the TC instead of just being that +occasional voice from the back of the room. + +There are some good reasons not to vote for me: the other TC candidates. I wish +I could run on a "throw out the bums" platform, but that's simply not possible. +I know all the current members, and they have all done an excellent job this +past year, and would all represent the community well if re-elected. I can only +promise that if elected, I will work hard to have at least as much positive +impact on the community as the TC member I might replace. That will be a +difficult task indeed, but I believe that I have the long-term experience to +help guide OpenStack as it continues to grow and thrive in the future.
