          decisions for the initial Tuskar proof of concept. I helped

                  Subject: [openstack-dev] Tuskar PTL candidacy<br>
                  <br>
                  I would like to nominate myself for the role of Tuskar
                  PTL.<br>
                  <br>
                  While not senior by any stretch of imagination, I did
                  QA automation for three years and development for
                  another three (professionally; I've been coding on my
                  own since I was 13) so I'm familiar with both sides of
                  the table.<br>
                  <br>
                  I've helped with the development of the Heat project
                  during its first six months and got one of the early
                  releases out the door (pre-incubation iirc). I'm
                  familiar with the OpenStack processes, I'd attended
                  weekly Heat meetings and been helping my colleagues
                  with the transition from a Ruby on Rails github
                  workflow to the OpenStack way of development.<br>
                  <br>
                  I'll freely admit I'm not the most knowledgeable
                  person around. But I'm not afraid to ask questions or
                  admit being wrong and I tend to learn quickly.<br>
                  <br>
                  Apart from more features and stability, I'll push
                  Tuskar towards clear documentation and friendliness to
                  newcomers.<br>
                  <br>
