Hello Stackers,
|
|
|
|
Subject: [tc][election] gouthamr's TC Candidacy for 2024.2
|
|
|
|
I'm expressing my interest to join the OpenStack Technical Committee with your
|
|
acceptance. I have had a long and exciting stint with OpenStack; and can
|
|
probably claim to have evolved along with it. I began my active contribution
|
|
journey in the Liberty release, and have had the pleasure to build a community
|
|
around the OpenStack Manila project for most of this time. In many ways, my
|
|
efforts here were rooted in the core ideology of this community: the fervent
|
|
desire for openness that drives each decision [1]. I coupled that with my own
|
|
penchant for mentoring; the result of which is a vast number of new
|
|
contributors in the form of Outreachy, Google Summer of Code, Grace Hopper
|
|
Celebrations, and student projects with numerous universities. All of this was
|
|
done with similarly motivated fellow conspirators. This experience has
|
|
helped me foster the diversity of thought in our community, and provided
|
|
sustained energy to a small group of people chopping wood and carrying water
|
|
around software whose relevance transcends hype cycles.
|
|
|
|
I now wish to employ this energy and experience in service as a member of the
|
|
TC. I set out the following goals to drive within the team:
|
|
|
|
* Sustain and improve collaboration: I wish to extend TC's charter on
|
|
investment opportunities with the "formal" mentorship engagements we have had
|
|
in the community, including but not limited to Outreachy, GSOC, GSOD, GHC and
|
|
university projects. I've new ideas here, and feel like a TC member can add a
|
|
ton of excitement to this niche area of people enthusiastic to do this year
|
|
on year.
|
|
* Commit to a closer collaboration with adjacent communities: I am inspired
|
|
by our willingness to engage with maintainers of software that work with
|
|
OpenStack. My pitch is for us to identify TC representation within projects
|
|
like Ceph, Kubernetes and others for active and periodic communication.
|
|
* Drive long running efforts to completion: prime examples here are efforts for
|
|
coherence for operators and users: Unified CLI, Limits, and Secure RBAC
|
|
defaults.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for considering my candidacy. I look forward to the opportunity
|
|
to serve our community and contribute to the continued success of OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
Warm regards,
|
|
|
|
Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
