+My name is Mingyuan Qi and I am nominating myself for election to StarlingX TSC.
+
+I'm a founding member of the community. During the open-source preparation
+period, I helped new community members to identify and resolve StarlingX build
+environment issues. In R5, I proposed and finished edge worker initiative
+phase one to provide a new approach for adding a node to a StarlingX cluster.
+
+My goal for the project is to strengthen StarlingX as a production ready
+solution for different industries, especially industrial edge domain. By getting
+more users involved in industrial domain, more feedback will come to the
+community from a particular production usage which makes StarlingX a more stable,
+more scalable and more secure system.
+
+Thank you for considering me as a contributor to the TSC.
