I would like to self-nominate for election to +the Airship Technical Committee. I have been a longtime collaborator on +OpenStack, I led the AT&T team that won the OpenStack Superuser Award and am +currently representing AT&T on the OpenStack Board of Directors. + +I believe I am one of a few people that were instrumental in the ideation of +Airship, and I led the effort with Intel and SKT to host the project as a +pilot project under the OpenStack Foundation. From the initial project creation, +to efforts in helping to build the Airship community, I have been a driving +force behind the project and the direction it is taking. Most recently, I have +been helping to shape the direction of Airship 2.0 as a release, drafting the +governance process for the project, as well as helping to communicate what +Airship is all about (see TFiR interview +https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnF-8wXdOaY). + +One expectation of Airship TSC reps is to help marshal resources to support +the project. I believe I already check this box, as I have responsibility for +the Network Cloud Software Engineering organization at AT&T helping driver +Airship, and have already been leading efforts to have other technology +companies join the project and bring developers to help move Airship forward. + +I am fully committed to Airship being a successful open infrastructure +project, and believe it is critical to make it easy for Cloud Operators to +deploy, upgrade and manage the lifecycle of their clouds with resiliency and +security. Only by doing this can our software engineers be free to focus on +delivering other innovations and help accelerate Open Infrastructure Growth +and SDN. + +Thank you for your consideration. + +Ryan van Wyk +
