5. Goal Champions
=================
Things get done in OpenStack when a group of people work together
toward a shared goal. In order to do that, one or more people in the
group need to step up and coordinate the group, keep track of
progress, call for and chair regular meetings, and publish status
updates. PTLs do this work for project teams, leaders do it for
various cross-project working groups and SIGs, and champions do it to
help us complete :ref:`release-cycle-goals` over a cycle.
The work of those champions is essential to the success of OpenStack,
and yet it is often challenging to find volunteers for those
positions. Contributing as a goal champion takes time (several hours
per week), and that commitment needs to be properly recognized and
celebrated.
Volunteers for this role will make a direct impact on the productivity
of others, become respected leaders in OpenStack community, build
influence among their peers, and make great candidates for future
elected leadership positions in OpenStack.
If you are interested in helping with community goals, contact the TC
sponsor for this item (dhellmann).
