              have been working with OpenStack in a professional
              capacity since before the Essex release and have
              participated in each of the summits since that time.
               Throughout that timeframe I've been an active participant
              in most of the projects that make up OpenStack through
              active communication and collaboration. I am currently a
              member of the Keystone Core team and almost always
              available / active on IRC (ensuring I have a good pulse on
              most of the projects at any given time).  </span></p>

              the Havana cycle I have been mostly focused on Keystone,
              however, I have also contributed to a number of other
              OpenStack projects.  Over the last cycle, I have made sure

              a developer, operator, and consumer of OpenStack, I
              believe that OpenStack (and, more generally speaking,
              IaaS) is the "way of the future" when it comes to managing
              and maintaining computational resources.  I think that
              OpenStack in particular is a defining force within this
              space, and as such has a responsibility to help the
              industry grow in a positive way.  This, in no small part,
              includes bringing new projects online (from incubation to
              full integration) to fill the gaps in functional coverage
              and ensuring that both new and already integrated projects
              are ready for prime-time use.  </span></p>

              the next couple of cycles (and beyond), I see the TC's
              role as not only growing the platform in a stable and
              maintainable way, but also being an active advocate for
              the diverse set of consumers of OpenStack (public cloud
              providers, private cloud providers, enterprise
              integration, development environments and platforms, QA
              environments, end consumers of the various cloud
              installations, etc).  The TC should continue to take an
              active role (in some cases more active) in the
              project-wide scope direction.  This active participation
              will include continued direct collaboration with the Board
              of Directors as well as the many contributors (both
              corporate and individual) of OpenStack.</span></p>
