I am a founding member of the TSC +and over the past year I have helped facilitate the TSC, welcome new members and +help guide the project from a technical perspective. I am a frequent speaker at +industry events on the values of StarlingX and share my passion for edge +computing widely. I see edge as having the ability to transform people's lives +through transformation of technology used in health care and transportation - +StarlingX is a big part of making that happen. + +I have contributed to OPNFV and other open source projects over the years. I +have a deep technical knowledge of distributed computing and optimization of +edge focused solutions. I have helped out in the Edge Computing talk selection +committee for the last summit and will have volunteered to do so again for +Shanghai. + +I was honored and humbled to receive a community award at the last summit, for +my contributions to the StarlingX project - [0] + +On the TSC I would have a few areas of focus: + +Continue to advocate for the 4 Open model of development. Help the project pass +the graduation criteria from the pilot phase as defined by the OpenStack +foundation. My goal is to champion and contribute to increasing test focus and +culture of the project around test. This area is so important to the health of +any open source project (well any project actually). This will help new +developers contribute more easily and the project to grow the contribution base +and speed of development. We had a good discussion at the PTG in Denver a few +weeks ago. I plan on working with the community to find ways we can better +leverage Zuul and other projects to accelerate the project and increase quality +of the code. + +I am focused on growing the community, maintaining the technical relevance of +the project and continuing StarlingX's journey to a diverse and thriving open +source project. I value the contributions of the OpenStack Foundation and their +guidance is something that has helped the project on our journey to graduate the +pilot phase. + +Thank you for your consideration for me to continue as a contributor to the TSC +and the Starling X project overall. + +[0] https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/open-infrastructure-community-contributor-awards-denver-summit-edition/
