Greetings Stackers!
|
|
|
|
I would like to submit my candidacy for the Technical Committee.
|
|
|
|
I have been involved with the OpenStack community since the Juno cycle and
|
|
interested in OpenStack while I worked as an engineer supporting data center
|
|
hosting operations. My experience having bridged these worlds means that I
|
|
understand the life of an operator and the thought process of a developer.
|
|
I care deeply about the success of OpenStack and believe that it is vital
|
|
for the the marketplace and open innovation.
|
|
|
|
I believe we have been excellent at building social and process complexity
|
|
to our own detriment. I feel that we need to evaluate and reconsider why we
|
|
do the things we do. I feel that we need better stand-alone usage cases and
|
|
usage. A shorter feedback loop with those different use cases would also help
|
|
us iterate faster as our software could then be consumed more easily.
|
|
|
|
It is true containers have taken over the limelight with many companies,
|
|
as they have shifted their resources away from OpenStack. I feel that we
|
|
must not forget that infrastructure and the underlying building blocks have
|
|
a place as well. It is also upon us to advocate for that as community
|
|
building is our strongest avenue to spread the word of OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
Many may know me as TheJulia on IRC. I've largely worked on Ironic and to a
|
|
lesser extent TripleO far off in the past. I'm one of those people that keeps
|
|
odd hours and tries to help others, as I feel strongly about supporting our
|
|
community and its users. I feel that this in turn supports ourselves and
|
|
helps us in the long term. I believe strongly in developing contributors and
|
|
also plainly admitting when I just don't know the answer to a question.
|
|
At the same time, I'm happy to help investigate and try to understand.
|
|
|
|
While we have navigated to this point with the hype curve, we need to set
|
|
our future course with a variety of thoughts and experiences. Combined with
|
|
my strong feelings about our community and overall mission, I feel that I
|
|
would be a good addition to the TC.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration,
|
|
Julia
