I'd like to submit my candidacy for a position on the OpenStack TC.
|
|
|
|
I work at SUSE as a Cloud Developer. I have been involved with OpenStack for
|
|
three years, first as a contributor to the Puppet-OpenStack team, then with the
|
|
Infra team, and now as a core reviewer for keystone.
|
|
|
|
From the beginning I have had a keen interest in onboarding new contributors and
|
|
guiding them to be productive community members. Growing our community
|
|
following our recent drop in contributors is one of our biggest challenges.
|
|
I also see diversifying our community as intertwined with attracting and
|
|
onboarding new members. I have always been impressed with OpenStack's welcoming
|
|
community and inclusivity, but the numbers show that we could be doing better
|
|
on gender diversity[1] and I believe we must continue to build up momentum in
|
|
improving cultural inclusivity.
|
|
|
|
My work in OpenStack has given me with an understanding of the needs of
|
|
operators and deployment tool teams and a desire to support those needs.
|
|
Admitting deployment tools into the Big Tent was a great step in closing the
|
|
communication gap between core projects and deployers and ultimately lead to an
|
|
improvement in the user experience for operators. Continuing this pattern of
|
|
inter-group collaboration is fundamental to making OpenStack better.
|
|
|
|
I care a lot about OpenStack and I'd like to contribute to its overall health
|
|
and success in any way that I can, and I see serving on the TC as an excellent
|
|
way to do that. Thank you for your consideration.
