Fellow Stackers, I would like to announce my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical Committee election.
Currently i am employed by Mirantis and take manage a couple teams, one working primarily on Oslo/RabbitMQ/ZMQ and the other on Keystone. My other job is contributing upstream where i can including several Oslo projects, Nova, Requirements and Release team. I have served as PTL for Oslo for the last two terms and am proud of our accomplishments including getting rid of the oslo-incubator, building up our test matrix for better backwards compatibility testing and increasing the number of people invested in different Oslo projects. We have a lot of challenges including figuring out how to balance stability/innovation, fostering new talent, target our limited resources to make OpenStack even better than it is today. I would like to offer some ideas as part of the technical committee based on my previous experiences at ASF, a startup, working at Big Blue etc. While working on Oslo as PTL, gave me a lot of insight into how different projects go about their work. Being part of the Requirements and Release team has helped me understand the day-to-day challenges of how we pull in different directions but still end up moving forward. Spending time looking at gate issues and setting up CI jobs has given me a lot of appreciation around how many things there are we could work on and fix. As part of the technical committee, i am hoping to help with: - Cross Project issues, increasing collaboration between projects - Backwards compatibility issues and testing - Evangelizing great ideas from different projects Starting with @markmc, @sdague, @dhellmann and a whole of of others i have received a lot of support and guidance over the years. I would like to pay it forward for the new set of folks who are coming, learning our ways and becoming part of our community.
