Hello,
|
|
|
|
My name is Alexander Hughes, and I would like to announce my candidacy for
|
|
re-election to the Airship Technical Committee.
|
|
|
|
In my two years of being an Airship community member, I've grown a lot as a
|
|
developer and as a person. My peers have recognized me for frequent,
|
|
meaningful contributions and code reviews, leading to core status in multiple
|
|
Airship projects. Some of my most visible contributions in Airship1 have been
|
|
to the Pegleg project enhancing PKI behavior and introducing site and global
|
|
level encryption. In Airship2, I have proposed numerous enhancements to lower
|
|
the barrier to entry for new developers, including initiatives on documentation
|
|
for developers and end-users, refactoring and streamlining code, and resolving
|
|
bugs.
|
|
|
|
Across all Airship projects, one of my most significant areas of focus has been
|
|
identifying and proposing solutions to security issues like CVEs in Airship
|
|
containers. My security mindset led to initiatives on the management of secrets
|
|
via file permissions, encryption, and preventing plain text secrets from being
|
|
stored on the filesystem by default.
|
|
|
|
During my first term on the Airship Technical Committee, I helped influence
|
|
Airship design and strategy during design calls and SIGs. I helped to bring
|
|
awareness to the project as the primary contributor to the Airship blog. I
|
|
helped to grow the project by representing Airship in talks with the OpenStack
|
|
Foundation Board of Directors to gain confirmation as a top-level OSF project,
|
|
as well as compiling and presenting project updates and quarterly newsletter
|
|
updates.
|
|
|
|
Over the next year with the Technical Committee, I will continue to make
|
|
Airship easier to use and develop, enhance security, and grow the community.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration.
|
|
|
|
Alexander Hughes |
