<div dir="ltr">Hi, I'd like to propose myself to serve on the
Technical Committee for the upcoming election term.

<div>I volunteer my best for OpenStack every day, and will
continue to do so in the coming term. I currently serve as
Documentation Program Lead and have been working on OpenStack
at Rackspace since September 2010. My PTL candidacy statement
is available at [1]. We continually improve the documentation
by applying better processes and resources all the time,
treating the documentation like the fast-moving code itself.
We also serve the many audiences interested in OpenStack,
deployers, operators, administrators, architects, cloud
consumers, users and developers. I believe that participating
companies who employ OpenStack coders should also dedicate
technical documentation resources, and am pleased to see
member companies are getting the message and creating and
recruiting for those positions. </div>

</div>
<div>== Why Am I Technical Enough for the TC? ==</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I try to provide support through the docs in any way I can,
by answering questions on IRC, Disqus doc comments, and on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ask.openstack.org">ask.openstack.org</a>.
My breadth and depth of knowledge is across OpenStack because
of my role as Doc PTL.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I learn quickly and gather facts before passing judgement.
In the last year, I have given fair attention to each
incubation request and have tried to evaluate from the point
of view of the audiences the docs serve. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have built relationships across all of the OpenStack
projects, giving doc platform and tooling support. I review
doc patches from the perspective of all audiences, constantly
asking for improvement.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During TC meetings, I ask the right questions and listen to
the answers, asking further questions when my experience or
vocabulary is lacking in an area. I admit when I don't know
something. I work hard to earn trust and respect. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My goal is to provide an inclusive and supportive
environment for projects while making OpenStack better for
users and admins all the time. We are so fortunate to have the
explosive growth and interest in OpenStack, and I want it to
continue. We have built upon incredible ideas and I want us to
be empowered to innovate. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe by serving on the Technical Committee I can
continue to support OpenStack in meaningful ways.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your attention, and thanks for all the important
work that YOU, the members of our community, bring every day
to this project.</div>
