Hello OCP Community The OCP PL Election nomination phase has come to a close. We really appreciate all the thought that has been put in place for our leadership. Many thanks to David Woolf, Asim Rasheed, Bernie Meier, Brian Obernesser, Kang-Won Lee and Bryan Larish who have served OCP in the past PL term and we wish you all the best in your next endeavor! Special shout out to those PL who love OCP so much that they are continuing on for another term (Omar, Scott, Steve, Norm, Jorge, John, Siamak, Xin, Rajat, Jia, Lawrence).
This PL election was my first and I was really suprised by the results... but first a few quick observations: - Many companies have come forth to participate this year. I know we only had a few spots but there will be a lot more opportunity to lead as more sub-projects emerge and as OCP considers adding more projects so please participate! We know who you are and we will come knocking when we need help! - More collaboration has occurred within our thought leadership than ever before. Just look at our contributions! - The caliber and expertise of the leadership is unprecedented - so much talent that we are humbled and very fortunate to have their time and their energy. - Some groups have had very new leadership in the past 6 months, either because they were just incubated or because they were newly revitalized so we have opted not to hold elections and disrupt the momentum established by the newly selected leaders. We have confirmed with them that they are still able and willing to lead so all is status quo there. With that, this election is NOT really an widespread election. Election will be held for one Project Group since there were multiple candidates. The rest of the Project Leadership is running uncontested and have, by default, been appointed to their respective co-lead roles. Here are the results - please join me in congratulating our uncontested and incumbent PLs and in wishing the Telco contestants best of luck!! *Running Uncontested, No Election needed: * *R&P* - Steve Mills (Facebook) / Caleb Lusk (Rittal) *HW Mgmt* - Norm James (IBM) / Hemal Shah (Broadcom) *Networking *- Omar Baldonado (Facebook) / Scott Emery (Cumulus) *Storage* - Jorge Campello (Western Digital) / Jason Adrian (MSN) *Server* - John Stuewe (Dell) / Siamak Tavallaei (Microsoft) *New/Revamped Projects, No Elections needed:* *Security *- Incubation Mode - No election.
