I would like to announce my candidacy for the TC election. + +A bit about me and my involvement with OpenStack: I have been involved with +OpenStack since the Bexar days. I have contributed over that time to most of +the pre-big-tent 'integrated release' projects. Through this time, I have +strived to represent issues and features for the Operator Persona. It is +amazing to see just how far OpenStack has come in this short time. When i first +started, it took numerous animal sacrifices to get a working cloud deployed. +Now there are numerous distributions and projects that exist to make installing +a cloud easy-ish, and tons of healty innovation happening on top of the IaaS +platform components. + +I work for Rackspace in the Private Cloud business unit, deploying and managing +OpenStack clouds for all sizes of customers all over the world. Over the course +of the last 5 years, I have trodden the path of bespoke hand-rolled clouds all +the way to standardized/repeatable clouds. This process has given me a +foundational understanding of the core IaaS projects within the Big-Tent. I +have also helped start up the chef-openstack and openstack-ansible projects, +which both center around establishing a standard deployment process for +OpenStack. I have also been involved in the DefCore project for quite some +time, and have been an advocate for Rackspace's public cloud to move back to +upstream code and a removal of non-community bits. + +It would be an honor to serve on the TC. If elected I will focus on bringing an +Operators point of view to the conversation, as well as a strong focus on +manageability, stability and scalability. + +Thank you, + +-- +Justin Shepherd +IRC: galstrom + +Review history: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:%22Justin+Shepherd%22,n,z +Commit history: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/owner:%22Justin+Shepherd%22,n,z +Stackalytics: http://stackalytics.com/?user_id=jshepher&release=all&project_type=all
