I'm standing for reelection to a third term on the OpenStack
|
|
Technical Committee. Rather than the usual platform where I drone on
|
|
and on about myself, I'm going to take this opportunity to run a
|
|
public service announcement instead.
|
|
|
|
Going into my second term I stated, "my personal vision for
|
|
OpenStack is that of a vibrant and diverse community" and I think
|
|
we've made progress on that front but still have a long way to go.
|
|
The diversity (personal, professional and cultural) of our community
|
|
has increased steadily, but we won't be able to sustain it if
|
|
similar diversity among elected leaders continues to lag behind. Our
|
|
leaders are frequently the faces of our community to those outside
|
|
it, and should set an example for others to follow. OpenStack is
|
|
built on a promise of representative leadership, and so we need
|
|
people from under-represented segments of our community to stand and
|
|
take up the challenge. There's just over 48 hours left to send in
|
|
your self-nomination for a seat on the TC. If you can't meet the
|
|
time commitments but know someone who can, encourage them to run.
|
|
|
|
And, of course, when the time comes, vote. Vote for the candidates
|
|
who best represent you, your beliefs, your ideals. Vote for those
|
|
who share your vision for who, how and what OpenStack should be. If
|
|
you've been paying attention these past years, you already know my
|
|
opinions. I'd rather hear some new opinions from you.
