For those that don't know me, I'm TheJulia. I have been +working in the OpenStack community since mid-2014, and ironic since +early 2015. I'm likely best known for bifrost and advocating support +for stand-alone mode. A little less well known for helping provide +guidance for ironic-webclint and ironic-ui, plus the occassional bout +of insomnia. + +You may have seen me as the quiet one in the corner, only to suddenly +speak up, and then to caveat my statement with "But I might be crazy". +Well, I think this is sufficient evidence! + +To get back to the point, sometimes I do see things differently than other +people when presented with a problem. A good portion of that, at least as +far as I can tell, comes from my operations background. But I've learned +my lessons over the years and try to understand others point of view and +keep an open mind. + +I am a strong believer in ironic and the work that the community undertakes, +due to the countless hours I've spent inside data center installing hardware. + +I am confident that my leadership skills, ability to negotiate various +opinions, and passion for Ironic and the community that drives it will be my +strongest contributions as PTL. My goals for the Pike cycle would include: + +* Greater power and management interface options such as Redfish and OpenBMC. + I think this is necessary for growing ironic's user base, and while we have + been talking about such interfaces for a while, I believe the core community + needs to help make this happen. + +* Greater support partitioning and alternative disk layouts. This feels like + one of those asks that more advanced deployments keep trying to solve on + their own inside whole disk images, and while they find bugs, it would be + awesome to offer some greater flexibility. + +* Location awareness is super important to providing a single view of the + world to an operator, yet right now we have no support for it as we + are limited to a single endpoint representing a distinct cluster of + conductors. We need to fix this! + +I look forward to working with the Ironic community to continue improvements +and representing our community within OpenStack + +Thank you for your consideration, + +Julia Kreger
