Dear all,
|
||
|
||
I’d like to announce my candidacy for a seat on the OpenStack Technical
|
||
Committee.
|
||
|
||
I started my journey on OpenStack in 2011 as a user and operator. I had
|
||
little experience contributing to open source at the time; the people and
|
||
the values in the OpenStack community soon convinced me I could not simply
|
||
sit on the "consumer" side of the fence, and I started contributing to
|
||
the QA program. I've been a core contributor for Tempest since 2014 and the
|
||
PTL for the QA Program since the Pike cycle.
|
||
|
||
I attended the 2nd Leadership Training in Ann Arbour; the ideas of servant
|
||
leadership and vision inspired me and I put them into use while serving as
|
||
a PTL and working with the community in general.
|
||
|
||
I'm a supporter of the OpenStack vision prepared by the TC and by this
|
||
community. Diversity and collaboration with other communities enrich us,
|
||
"constellations" give a clearer message to users and operators, and help
|
||
us focus our development and testing efforts in a consistent direction.
|
||
|
||
On the TC I would focus on a few ares:
|
||
|
||
- Inclusivity of the OpenStack community: reduce language and time
|
||
barriers for contribution. Everyone should feel welcome and have the
|
||
opportunity to be successful when working on OpenStack.
|
||
|
||
- Build our new leaders: it's not enough to welcome new contributors,
|
||
we need to help them grow into the community future leaders.
|
||
|
||
- Cross-project and cross-community testing: help companies bring their
|
||
downstream architecture, integration and testing efforts in upstream
|
||
so they can benefit from the contributions of others in the community
|
||
that want to solve similar problems via OpenStack.
|
||
|
||
Regardless of the results of this election I will work hard to see the
|
||
vision we set for ourselves realised.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your consideration.
|
||
|
