I have been contributing since the Icehouse release. I served as +Cinder PTL from Mitaka through Pike, and was elected to the TC last spring. I +am currently serving my second cycle as Release Management PTL. + +During the last year on the TC, I have tried to be pragmatic and open to reason +on governance changes. I do think some proposals need healthy debate with a +really long term mindset to understand how changes now can impact our community +long term. I also think we need to pay a lot of attention to how proposals +impact the sometimes seemingly minor affect they will have on all those +currently involved, and how it impacts developer happiness and the attraction +of working on an OpenStack project. + +I've learned a lot from the other TC members and others participating in these +discussions. This last year has been very rewarding, and I've been glad to do +my part to move these conversations forward. + +My voting on past changes can be perused here: + +https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/governance+reviewedby:%22Sean+McGinnis+%253Csean.mcginnis%2540gmail.com%253E%22 + +Outside of specific governance proposals, I have been working on getting +involved in the operators community by attending the last few Ops Meetups to be +able to get face to face with more of the folks actually using OpenStack. I've +found it very valuable to hear directly about what kinds of issues are being +run into and what kinds of things we might be able to change on the development +side to make things better. + +Part of the outcome of that has led me to be more interested in our stable +policy, and helping out more with stable branch reviews. Many operators are not +able to get to a version, for one reason or another, until we have deleted the +branch upstream. I was happy to support our recent efforts in changing out +stable policies to allow a bigger window that might allow a resurgence in +interest for some of these older branches once more users are actually able to +run them and find issues. + +I do think it is good to have some new faces on the TC, but would love to serve +another term. I feel like the first year was partly just getting settled in, +and I would be very happy to continue to serve another term to keep things +going. OpenStack has been one of the best communities I've been involved in, +and I would love the opportunity to continue to do what I can to help support +it and help it grow. + +Thank you for your consideration. + +Sean
