+Chris Friesen: Candidate for StarlingX Containers Technical Lead role
+Affiliation: Wind River Systems
+
+As a founding member, ongoing contributor, and core reviewer for multiple
+StarlingX repositories I would like to submit my candidacy as PL for the
+Containers project.
+
+I have over seven years of experience with the original Wind River codebase
+and derived StarlingX project code.  I have reviewed and contributed code
+across multiple areas of the project and have a good understanding of
+the interrelationships between different components.
+
+Historically my focus has been on virtualization and how it was managed
+by OpenStack services, especially nova.  More recently as StarlingX has
+become primarily a Kubernetes platform I have worked on the various
+containerization components, and in the past year I have been leading the
+effort to support upgrading Kubernetes from 1.23 to 1.24, bringing in
+Kubevirt to support virtualization workloads, and experimenting with
+active/active kube-apiserver.
+
+As the PL for the containers project, I will work to help influence the
+implementation of new TSC approved features and improvements to existing
+functionality.  I will also work to help find more people to take on
+leadership roles in the sub-project.  I would like to work with the
+community to achieve these goals.
+
+Thanks for your consideration.
