I would like to propose my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical
Committee.<br>
<br>
I originated and led the Heat project with a small team of core
developers from Red Hat in early 2012. I am also a core member of
the Heat team and have contributed to Heat's progress through
incubation and integration status. My original vision for the
leadership of the Heat project was based upon the book "The
Starfish and The Spider" [1] in which decentralized organizations
such as OpenStack harness natural consequences of emergent [2]
systems.<br>
<br>
I have a strong first-hand grasp of organizing small groups into
producing great results and plan to act as a facilitator to
projects that are seeking incubation or have become incubated and
need a bit further help making their way into Integrated status in
OpenStack. My main objective serving in the Technical Committee
is to help drive the growth of OpenStack through new project
integration and growth. I am also a firm believer in transparency
and would strive to help the community in general understand the
consensus and decisions of the Technical Committee.<br>
<br>
I have a strong background in this area - having originated the
open source projects Corosync [3] which serves as the
underpinnings of high availability in Linux and other platforms as
well as Heat which is near and dear to all of us working in
OpenStack. Given the success of both these projects which require
a high degree of transparency and decentralized leadership, I
believe I am a good match for serving the OpenStack community via
the Technical Committee.<br>
<br>
I would appreciate your vote for growing new OpenStack projects
into full integrated status and improved TC transparency by
serving the OpenStack community in the Technical Committee.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
-steve<br>
