+Greetings Stackers!
+
+I hereby announce my candidacy for a position on the OpenStack Technical
+Committee.
+
+In many respects I consider myself a maverick, except reality is sometimes
+entirely different than my own self perception, upon reflection.
+I find self reflection and introspection to be powerful tools, along with
+passion and desire for the common good. That desire for the common good
+is the driving force behind my involvement in OpenStack, which I hope to
+see as a vibrant and thriving community for years to come.
+
+Have things changed? Yes, I think they are ever evolving. I think we can only
+take the logical paths that we see before us at the time. Does this mean
+we will make mistakes? Absolutely, but mistakes are also opportunities
+to learn and evolve as time goes on; which perhaps is an unspoken backbone
+of our community. The key is that we must not fear change but embrace it.
+
+Changing our community for the better is a process we can only take
+one step at a time, and we must recognize our strength
+is in our diversity. As we move forward, as we evolve, we need to keep in
+mind our goals and overall vision. In a sense, these things vary across all
+projects, but our central community vision and goal helps provide direction.
+
+As we continue our journey, I believe we need to lift up new contributors,
+incorporate new thoughts, and new ideas. Embracing change while keeping our
+basic course so new contributors can better find and integrate with our
+community as we continue forward. We need to listen and take that as
+feedback to better understand other perspectives, for it is not only
+our singular personal perspective which helps give us direction,
+but the community as a whole.
+
+For those who do not know me well my name is Julia Ashley Kreger. Often
+I can be found on IRC as TheJulia, in numerous OpenStack related channels.
+I have had the pleasure of serving the community this past year on the
+Technical Committee. I have also served the ironic community quite a bit
+during my time in the OpenStack community, which began during the Juno
+cycle.
+
+I am the current Project Team Lead for the Ironic team. I began
+serving in that capacity starting with the Rocky cycle. Prior,
+I served as the team's release liaison. You might have seen me as one
+of those crazy people advocating for standalone usage. Prior lives
+included deploying and operating complex systems, but that is enough
+about me.
+
+Ultimately I believe I bring a different perspective to the TC and it is for
+this, and my many strong beliefs and experiences, I feel I am well suited
+
+to serve the community for another year on the Technical Committee.
+
+Thank you for your consideration,
+
+Julia
