Hello my name is Ryan van Wyk. 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
