I'd like to announce my candidacy for the TC election.
|
|
|
|
A bit about me and my involvement with OpenStack: I've been
|
|
involved with OpenStack for a long time now in various capacities.
|
|
Most recently, I was the PTL for Neutron for the Juno, Kilo and
|
|
Liberty cycles. 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!
