I am announcing my candidacy for a position on the OpenStack
|
|
Technical Committee.
|
|
|
|
I started contributing to OpenStack in 2012, not long after joining
|
|
Dreamhost, and I am currently employed by Red Hat to work on OpenStack
|
|
with a focus on long-term project concerns. I have served on the
|
|
Technical Committee for the last five years, including as Chair during
|
|
the last term. I have also been PTL of the Oslo and Release Management
|
|
teams at different points in the past.
|
|
|
|
I have spent most of my time in all of those roles over the last few
|
|
years making incremental improvements in our ability to collaborate
|
|
while building OpenStack, including initiatives such as leading the
|
|
current community goal to run CI jobs under Python 3 by default [1];
|
|
coordinating last year's documentation migration; and updating our
|
|
dependency management system to make it easier for projects to run
|
|
stand-alone.
|
|
|
|
During my time serving as TC Chair, I have tried to update the way the
|
|
group works with the community. We started by performing a "health
|
|
check" for all of our project teams [2], as a way to spot potential
|
|
issues teams are experiencing that we can help with, and to encourage TC
|
|
members to learn more about teams they may not interact with on a
|
|
daily basis. We will be reviewing the results at the PTG [3], and
|
|
continuing to refine that process.
|
|
|
|
I have also had a few opportunities this year to share our governance
|
|
structure with other communities [4][5]. It's exciting to be able to
|
|
talk to them about how the ideals and principles that hold our
|
|
community together can also apply to their projects.
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack community continues to be the most welcoming group I
|
|
have interacted with in more than 25 years of contributing to open
|
|
source projects. I look forward to another opportunity to serve the
|
|
project through the Technical Committee over the coming year.
|
|
|
|
Thank you,
|
|
Doug
