Some people thought my proposal was satire, but it +wasn't, so if you're hoping to elect a satirist look elsewhere. However, this +incident is part of my motivation to run for the TC. We can't have satire +without culture, and clearly our community has a strong culture if we suspect, +and even hope, that satirists are lurking about. All of this indicates to me +that OpenStack is a special place and so I would like to play a role in the +success of that special place by serving on the TC. + +"Immensely qualified" is the opposite of what I am, but I have some strengths: + +* I am nosy. +* I have touched a lot of areas of OpenStack because Sahara touches a lot of + areas of OpenStack. +* I understand the struggles of working on a minor project (tiny team and + limited audience but still big goals) because Sahara is a minor project. +* I am an optimist because optimism is a necessary part of being the PTL of + Sahara nowadays. +* I am young. + +I have much to learn, and luckily I love learning. I don't have many specific +goals other than making our community as vibrant as possible. Out of vibrancy, +good software will hopefully come naturally, in order to make OpenStack the +best it can be in the current landscape. For me being a TC member would be +mostly about facilitating the exchange and synthesis of ideas (perhaps crazy +ones) and not so much about being a source of ideas myself. Of course, if I +happen to have a good idea (they tend to strike very suddenly), I'll share it! + +To close, thanks to all of you for making our community what it is. It is +really something special and everyone who I have ever interacted with (or +merely spied on) has been such a delight in their own unique way. It would be +an honor to serve you all. + +-Jeremy + +[0] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/677827/
