Hi everyone, I'd like to run for reelection to one of the Technical Committee directly-elected seats.
For those who don't know me, I've been handling release management duties for OpenStack since November 2010, a work currently sponsored by the OpenStack Foundation. My involvement is mostly around project coordination, keeping a global view and trying to anticipate issues as our development community grows even larger. I'm also heading the Vulnerability Management team, which handles incoming security issues reports. On the development side, I authored the rootwrap framework which is being used by a few of our projects, and whenever I find some free time, I'm working on improving it. I've been regularly elected by our community to the Project Policy Board and Technical Committee directly-elected seats for the last two years. I was heavily involved in the transition to our new governance, authored the Technical Committee charter, and have been chosen to chair it for the past 6 months. I think it's important that the Technical Committee contains representation from the horizontal functions within the project (Docs, QA, Infrastructure, Vulnerability management, Release management...), since each project is already represented by the seats granted for all PTLs. Over the last 30 months we grew from 2 projects to 10 projects, and I'm proud to be part of this community which successfully managed to handle growth and adoption while preserving our ideals of open design and open development. The challenges ahead of us include accommodating further growth, resist fragmentation, and maintaining efficiency and coherence as we grow well past Dunbar's number. I hope that you place me in a position where I can help us through those challenges. Thanks, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
