Hello to you all.
|
|
|
|
I would like to propose myself as a candidate for the Technical Committee for
|
|
the upcoming term. The reasons for running in the last election [1]
|
|
are still relevant for this election of the TC.
|
|
|
|
Since the last election my involvement in OpenStack has increased with a
|
|
spotlight on the Operators aspect of the community:
|
|
|
|
- Focusing on the ops-tags-team[2] helping to create tags with the intent of
|
|
creating information relevant to Operators.
|
|
- Helping to vet and review submissions to the OpenStack Planet[3] and
|
|
contributing as a core in openstack-planet-core.
|
|
- Participating in the Item Writing Committee of the first Foundation
|
|
initiative for the inaugural OpenStack Certification Exam Program.
|
|
|
|
As an OpenStack community we have made some huge steps in the right direction,
|
|
and are bringing more and more of the Operator and User community into our
|
|
midst. Operators and Users should also be represented in the
|
|
Technical Committee.
|
|
|
|
It is my hope that the electorate accept that there is a huge benefit,
|
|
and also a clear need, to have representation from all aspects of OpenStack, not
|
|
only from the developer community. When this happens - the disconnect (and
|
|
sometimes tension) that we have between these different parts will cease to be
|
|
an issue and we as a community will continue to thrive and grow.
|
|
In order to finally bridge this gap, it is time to open the ranks, bring an
|
|
Operator into the TC and to become truly inclusive.
|
|
|
|
I humbly ask for your selection so that I may represent Operators in the
|
|
Technical Committee for the next term.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration.
