I've been a core reviewer on Neutron since July of +2013. I helped to write the Project Team Guide [1] by participating +in the sprint during it's creation. I founded and continue to lead +the Minnesota OpenStack Meetup [2]. I've spoken at many OpenStack +conferences and other Open Source conferences. + +Given the "Big Tent" governance model we now find ourselves under, +my experience in leading Neutron as it adopted the "Neutron Stadium" +is very relevant to the current state of OpenStack. While leading +Neutron, the "Neutron Stadium" allowed many new project teams to +develop and grow. I hope to be able to work with new OpenStack +projects and guide them as they grow into OpenStack projects. I'd +also like to ensure the uniqueness which each projects brings to the +table isn't lost when it becomes an OpenStack project. While I +firmly believe each project must adopt the Four Opens [3] in order +to become an OpenStack project, it's important to not lose the +original spark which was lit to start these projects as they move +into the Big Tent. + +If I'm elected, I will continue to dedicate time to work upstream +and help new and old projects. I'll work hard to assist anyone who +requests my help. And I'll continue to strive to do what I can +to ensure OpenStack's future success. + +OpenStack has been an amazing community to be involved in. I am +fortunate to have been a part of this community for a long time now, +and should I be elected, I look forward to the chance to help guide +it while serving on the TC for the next two cycles! + +Thank you! + +-- +Kyle Mestery +IRC: mestery + +[1] http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ +[2] http://www.meetup.com/Minnesota-OpenStack-Meetup/ +[3] http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/introduction.html#the-four-opens
