I hold +consistent, strong views in favor of free software and +open/transparent community process, and vote my conscience on any +matters brought before the TC. I have experience as a user, an +operator and a developer, and do my best to accurately represent +concerns from all these perspectives. I feel honored to have +participated in the drafting of a TC vision, the decision to +encourage more strategic investment from contributors through +creation of a community-wide "help wanted" list, restructuring the +TC meeting/discussion model to improve accessibility across +time zones and cultures, and closer collaboration with the User +Committee and adjacent communities through the emergence of +role-neutral Special Interest Groups. + +My personal vision for OpenStack is that of a vibrant and diverse +community packed with part-time and volunteer user-contributors +working in harmony (but also occasional creative cacophony) toward +well-defined common goals, and I intend to continue my efforts to +achieve this regardless of whatever elected positions I may hold. In +the past year I led the work to eliminate what I saw as a major +source of pain and confusion for new contributor on-boarding: the +technical requirement to join the OpenStack Foundation in order to +be able to submit patches to official projects. Following in that +theme, my primary goal for the coming year is to finally put an end +to Contributor License Agreement enforcement for patch submissions +(our long-awaited switch to Developer Certificate of Origin +"Signed-off-by" footers in commit messages). + +Besides serving on the TC, I've been a core reviewer and root +sysadmin on OpenStack's community-maintained project infrastructure +for five years. I served the past two years as the Infrastructure +Project Team Lead but recently stepped down so as to free up +additional time to focus on broader community-wide governance. I've +also been doing vulnerability management in OpenStack for over four +years, regularly help with elections, chaired conference tracks +several times, and given talks to other communities on a variety of +OpenStack-related topics. I'm in regular attendance at two of the +three weekly TC office hours, but am also happy to entertain +concerns from anyone (publicly or in private) at any time; I love +hearing from members of our community and attempting to find answers +for you.
