Dear ONAP TSC and the Technical Community, I am interested in serving as the ONAP TSC Vice Chair and I request your support. As the vice-chair, I will focus on the following priorities and work closely with Mazin Gilbert and the TSC members:
1) Focus on Deployments ? I will take a pragmatic view and look to prioritize ONAP features & capabilities that drive real deployments. I believe that, ensuring small successes quickly, will go a long way in motivating the community and driving business success. 2) Build a strong ONAP Ecosystem ? My key focus over the next few months will be to help recruit other Service Providers, OEMs, VNF vendors and System Integrators to make ONAP the defacto standard for Service Orchestration. 3) Drive Synergy with Open Source Projects ? I will promote collaboration and alignment with other communities such as OPNFV, ETSI-NFV, DPDK, FD.io, Openstack, ODL and TOSCA. I have over 25 years of experience in the Telco industry. At Intel, I have led the creation of a strong networking capability on standard server platforms. My team and I have played a key role in creating the NFV vision in the industry and bringing it to fruition; This includes significant contributions to open source projects such as Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), FD.io, ODL, OPNFV, ETSI, IETF, Openstack, Open VSwitch and others. I am excited to be a part of the ONAP project, which I believe is a critical element for fueling business growth by creating a nimble and efficient services infrastructure of tomorrow.
