<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,<br><br><div>I'd like to put my <span class="">candidacy</span> for a position on the OpenStack Technical Committee.</div><br>I have been involved with OpenStack since before it actually existed<br>
while working on Swift at the Rackspace Cloud.<br><br>My experience with OpenSource started in the late 90s while working on<br>the Linux-Mandrake distribution taking care of to the low-level<br>components of the distribution and contributing to numerous OpenSource<br>
projects.<br><br>My focus in OpenStack has been mainly on Swift and Keystone and<br>Devstack making sure Swift (acting as a core-dev there) has been well integrated within OpenStack.<br><br>I have been speaking at conferences and meetups on OpenStack around<br>
the world for the last couple of years helping them.<br><br>I have written numerous articles on my blog[1] about Swift and<br>Keystone and OpenStack in general which seems to be pretty popular.<br><br>In addition to that I am the lead dev of a large team doing OpenStack<br>
development at my company helping working full-time on various<br>OpenStack matters<br><br>I strongly believe in OpenStack as a whole and I am pretty happy when<br>we moved over programs recognizing all the work that has been done by<br>
the various people making OpenStack this success.<br><br>I want to help the TC with integrating new projects and be more<br>active when choosing the new projects helping them to get well<br>integrated with the other OpenStack projects.<br>
<br>I would be honored to be a member of the TC helping on the<br>technical matters based on the feedback I am getting from the<br>different people I meet every day talking to them about OpenStack.<br><br><div>Thanks for taking me into consideration.<br>
