+Hello, my name is Jan-Erik Mangs. I’ve worked with IT infrastructure
+since the early days of the Internet. I have a background in computer
+science and a solid base in networking. I’ve been with Ericsson now
+for many years, both in research and development and I’ve worked with
+cloud technologies from the start. I’ve always kept one leg in the
+lab, combining theory with practice and I've worked with operations
+for many years. So I’ve learned the value of automation the hard
+way. For that reason I really see the value in Airship. I also believe
+that Airship provides the best of Kubernetes and OpenStack in the best
+possible way.
+
+As an end user of Airship since its inclusion in the OpenStack
+Foundation I have spent a lot of time learning the benefits and
+complications of working with AirShip for both new and intermediate
+users. I believe in the mission of Airship, and it’s growing
+community, and feel that in order for it to be successful
+simplification and usability need to be a focus item, one that I will
+champion if elected to the TC.
+
+To increase the adoption of Airship it needs to be as simple as
+possible for new users. I want to focus on precisely this challenge.
+I intend to work across the Open Infrastructure and Kubernetes
+communities to facilitate best approaches and industry standards in
+the platform, both to increase ease of use and establish future
+looking models for usability and operations.
+
+Thank you for your consideration.
+
+Jan-Erik Mangs
