I have been involved with OpenStack for +three years, first as a contributor to the Puppet-OpenStack team, then with the +Infra team, and now as a core reviewer for keystone. + +From the beginning I have had a keen interest in onboarding new contributors and +guiding them to be productive community members. Growing our community +following our recent drop in contributors is one of our biggest challenges. +I also see diversifying our community as intertwined with attracting and +onboarding new members. I have always been impressed with OpenStack's welcoming +community and inclusivity, but the numbers show that we could be doing better +on gender diversity[1] and I believe we must continue to build up momentum in +improving cultural inclusivity. + +My work in OpenStack has given me with an understanding of the needs of +operators and deployment tool teams and a desire to support those needs. +Admitting deployment tools into the Big Tent was a great step in closing the +communication gap between core projects and deployers and ultimately lead to an +improvement in the user experience for operators. Continuing this pattern of +inter-group collaboration is fundamental to making OpenStack better. + +I care a lot about OpenStack and I'd like to contribute to its overall health +and success in any way that I can, and I see serving on the TC as an excellent +way to do that. Thank you for your consideration. + +Colleen Murphy (cmurphy) +https://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/11727/colleen-murphy +http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&user_id=krinkle + +[1] http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/bitergia-intel-report/
