I am writing to let you know I am running for a position on the TC.
|
|
|
|
Here is my candidacy statement for your review.
|
|
|
|
I am not your typical candidate, which is one reason that I am asking for your vote. I have a technical background,
|
|
with over a decade of software development experience. I have a marketing background, with over a decade of
|
|
Technology, Product and Brand marketing experience. I have a business development background and have been
|
|
an entrepreneur. I have been a product manager and a software planner. It is this combination of experiences
|
|
that I have accumulated during my almost 35 years in the technology industry that I believe will enable me to
|
|
provide unique value as a member of the TC.
|
|
|
|
I have been an active member in the community since 2013, working with Community teams to understand market-segment
|
|
needs and/or barriers to their deployment of OpenStack and bringing that information to the Community in the form
|
|
of specs, blueprints, prototypes and user stories (win the enterprise work group, enterprise work group, product
|
|
work group). These teams have brought resources to develop these capabilities (one example is improving upgrade
|
|
capabilities through versioned objects implementation) and have been able to close gaps resulting in expanding
|
|
Enterprise deployments of OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
As a TC member, I will work to support our success by utilizing my project/program management experience.
|
|
Specifically, I will:
|
|
1) Tap the collective market knowledge within our Community to identify innovative capabilities that will define
|
|
the defacto cloud computing platform of the future.
|
|
2) Work to bring projects together to define and implement cross-project capabilities and initiatives.
|
|
3) Continue the development of a multi-release roadmap process.
|
|
|
|
I believe that a diverse Community will enable us to develop more innovative software that will meet the needs
|
|
of global markets. I work with both the Diversity Work Group and the Women of OpenStack to help strengthen the
|
|
diversity of our Community.
|
|
|
|
As cross-project coordination needs expand and concepts like big tent stretch our capabilities, I believe
|
|
that my skill-sets, experiences, and values align well with the emerging needs within our community.
|
|
|
|
I would appreciate the opportunity to further my contributions to our Community and thank you for your
|
|
consideration.
|
|
