Greetings Stackers! I'm announcing my candidacy for the Technical Committee
|
|
Elections.
|
|
|
|
Those of you who have been involved in OpenStack most likely know me, as I was
|
|
part of the original team from Rackspace that created OpenStack in 2010. For
|
|
the past year or so I have been employed at IBM to work on 100% upstream
|
|
OpenStack development. Part of that time has been spent getting a good overview
|
|
of both the project and the community behind it. I've also placed some of my
|
|
focus on the groups of people working *with* OpenStack, and not just those
|
|
developing it. And to that end I've been working with the current TC as much as
|
|
possible, especially in the areas of API standardization and consistency. I'm
|
|
always lurking on the regular TC meetings (and sometimes throwing in my two
|
|
cents), and reviewing as much of the material as I can. I believe that I can
|
|
have a much greater impact as part of the TC instead of just being that
|
|
occasional voice from the back of the room.
|
|
|
|
There are some good reasons not to vote for me: the other TC candidates. I wish
|
|
I could run on a "throw out the bums" platform, but that's simply not possible.
|
|
I know all the current members, and they have all done an excellent job this
|
|
past year, and would all represent the community well if re-elected. I can only
|
|
promise that if elected, I will work hard to have at least as much positive
|
|
impact on the community as the TC member I might replace. That will be a
|
|
difficult task indeed, but I believe that I have the long-term experience to
|
|
help guide OpenStack as it continues to grow and thrive in the future.
